The  column  of  figures,  1,  2,  3,  4,  &c,  on  the  left

and  parentage  may  be  found.  The  fractional  or  supe- 
rior figure  over  each  name  denotes  the  generation  to

Joseph2  is  of  the  second  generation,  and  so  on  to  the 
end.

be  obtained,  or  parties  themselves  have  furnished  ma- 
terial for  that  purpose. 

We  are  aware  that  these  pages  are  neither  full  nor 
complete.  The  difficulty,  and  even  the  impossibility, 
of  attaining  to  anything  like  a  correct  record,  every 
one  at  all  conversant  with  such  matters  must  under- 
stand. We  have  done  all  in  our  power  to  obtain  reli- 
able information.  Records  have  been  consulted,  and 
aged  people  have  been  conversed  with,  whenever  they 
could  be  found  and  were  known  to  possess  anything  of 
interest. 

We  venture  to  hope  that  a  large  amount  of  indul- 
gence will  be  extended  to  the  compiler,  when  we 
consider  the  great  variety  of  detail  and  dates  here  pre- 
sented. In  our  notice  of  families,  we  have  endeavored 
not  to  discriminate  ;  and  according  to  the  interest  the 
parties  themselves  have  taken,  and  the  fullness  of  the 
information  they  have  furnished,  will  the  record  appear. 
Mrs.  Charles  Payson,  of  Thomaston,  and  Mr.  Edward 
Ludwig  Reed,  of  St.  Davids,  N.  B.,  both  of  the  fifth 
generation  in  the  lineal  descent,  will  please  accept  our 
thanks  for  the  full  and  perfect  record  furnished  by 
them.  If  other  members  of  the  family,  with  no  better 
facilities,  had  done  as  much,  our  pages  would  have 
been  augmented  to  double  their  present  number. 


A  NAME. 


Admitting  the  philosophical  fact  that  a  stream  cannot 
rise  higher  than  its  fountain  head,  it  may  conciliate 
the  good  feeling  of  some  reader  to  remember  that 
science  has  now  reduced  her  theories  to  such  minute- 
ness as  to  discover  globules  of  royal  blood  floating  in 
ignoble  veins.  It  must  be  claimed  that  names  are  ot 
some  importance  in  navigating  the  investigator  over 
all  the  shoals  and  quicksands  of  a  long  line  of  ancestry. 
"  Names  are  things,  and  "  adds  the  translator  of  Pela- 
giarism,  u  are  instruments  for  moral  and  religious,  as 
well  as  for  scientific  investigation  ;  lenses,  for  instance, 
and  of  the  most  divers  and  most  magic  power,  enlarg- 
ing or  diminishing,  beautifying  or  deforming,  multiply- 
ing, illuminating  or  obscuring,  and  investigating  ob- 
jects with  all  imaginable  hues.  They  are  weapons, 
shields  of  adamant,  Damascus  blades.  Wise  men 
know  well  their  power.  Good  men  use  them,  and 
love  to  see  them  used,  only  aright.  High  minded  men 
scorn  to  use  them,  and  blush  to  see  them  used  in  any 
other  way." 

Names  have  been  the  cause  as  well  as  the  imple- 
ments of  war,  arraying  brother  against  brother,  even 
in  the  household  of  faith.  Who  will  doubt  this  who 
has  heard  the  thunder  of  such  wars,  or  read  'their  his- 
tory. Notwithstanding  the  immortal  bard  of  Avon 
asks,  with  so  much  piquancy,  "  What's  in  a  name  V1 
its  true  import  of  good  or  bad  will  rest  with  its  pos- 
sessor. The  blade  of  the  sword  will  do  just  as  good 
service  as  though  its  hilt  were  not  wreathed  with  flow-

ers.  Embellishment  does  not  impair  usefulness.  It  is 
idle,  if  not  worse  than  that,  on  the  part  of  parents  to 
neglect  any  item  of  intelligence  which  may  afford  the 
least  claim  to  respectability  or  renown  to  the  child.  I 
would  therefore  inculcate  and  enforce  by  every  argu- 
ment within  my  power  a  due  respect  to  the  right  names 
of  both  men  and  things  in  their  peculiar  etymology  in 
the  minds  of  the  young.

INTRODUCTION. 


The  object  of  the  following  pages  is  to  make  a  true 
and  correct  record  of  one  of  the  oldest  German  fami- 
lies, and  the  only  one  of  the  name  in  New  England, 
which  has  now  become  quite  numerous,  dating  back  to 
1699,  and  having  already  extended  to  the  seventh  gen- 
eration. 

Although  almost  every  family  has  kept  some  kind  of 
record  of  births,  deaths,  &c,  yet  there  is  nothing  suf- 
ficiently definite  to  be  found  whereby  any  one  of  the 
present  generation,  unaided  by  tradition,  could  know 
from  which  branch  of  the  family  he  descended.  I 
have  endeavored  so  to  classify  and  arrange  the  several 
branches  of  this  family  that  with  a  little  care  any  one 
may  easily  ascertain  who  his  ancesters  were  from  the 
remote  period  of  their  emigration,  1699,  and  where 
they  lived  and  died. 

Genealogy  is  a  subject  that  is  never  interesting  to 
any  except  those  of  whom  it  immediately  treats  ;  and 
strange  as  it  may  seem,  scarcely  any  one  gives  it  a 
thought  until  they  themselves  are  beginning  to  shrink 
from  the  cares  and  perplexities  of  life,  and  then  they, 
for  the  first  time,  reflect  and  inquire  from  where  and 
from  whom  they  descended.  I  believe  the  remark  will 
hold  good  with  the  learned  as  well  as  the  unlearned, 
the  obscure  as  well  as  the  illustrious.  Man  loves  to 
dwell  upon  anticipated  prosperity,  and  to  boast  more 
r>f  what  he  will  do  than  of  what  his  ancestors  have 
2* 


10  LUDWIG   GENEALOGY 

done ;  feasting  with  hope  rather  than  fasting  with 
memory. 

Uninteresting  and  neglected  as  the  subject  of  gene- 
alogy is  to  those  whom  it  does  not  immediately  con- 
cern, it  nevertheless  affords  to  the  reflecting  mind 
many  instructive  lessons,  and  perhaps  none  of  which 
are  more  important  than  the  sad  conviction  of  the 
brevity  of  human  life. 

It  is  now  less  than  two  hundred  years  since  Joseph, 
the  individual  from  whom  descended  this  large  poster- 
ity, was  born,  and  yet  there  are  now  living  many  of 
the  seventh  generation,  leaving  an  average  of  only 
about  thirty  years  for  each  of  us  to  act  our  part  in  life 
and  then  pass  away. 

Degeneracy,  and  everything  tending  thereto,  like 
impure  blood,  bad  habits,  and  unsound  principles, 
should  be  assiduously  guarded  against,  as  well  by  in- 
dividuals as  by  races ;  and  in  this  family,  although 
they  have  all  escaped  the  poor  house,  and  never,  to 
my  knowledge,  been  convicted  of  crime,  still  they 
have  sinned,  with  a  high  hand,  in  another  direction : 
They  have  intermarried  with  their  own  blood.  Cousins 
and  second  cousins  have  disregarded  the  Levitical 
Law,  which  says,  "thou  shalt  not  marry  thy  grand- 
mother," &c,  and  in  every  instance  some  of  their 
children  have  been  visited  with  physical  malformation 
or  mental  defect,  showing  conclusively  that  nature 
will  have  her  revenge  whenever  her  laws  are  recklessly 
disregarded. 

In  Massachusetts,  a  few  years  ago,  the  Legislature 
became  aware  of  this  growing  evil,  and  appointed  a 
committee  to  investigate  the  matter  and  report. 

One  passage  (page  90)  of  their  report  gives  the  sta- 
tistics of  seventeen  families,  the  heads  of  which  being

blood  relations,  intermarried,  which  they  had  occasion 
to  inquire  about  in  the  discharge  of  their  commission. 
Ninety-five  children  were  the  issue  of  these  seventeen 
marriages.  Of  the  ninety-five  children,  one  was  a 
dwarf,  one  was  deaf,  twelve  others  were  puny,  and 
forty-four  were  idiots. 

"Facts  are  stubborn  things."  Nature  speaks  plain- 
ly enough  here,  and  no  consideration  of  sentiment, 
custom  or  prejudice  should  drown  her  voice. 

I  have  been  so  occupied  for  the  last  forty  years  as  to 
become  familiar  with  every  instance  of  physical  or 
mental  defect  that  has  occurred  in  a  district  of  twenty 
miles  square,  and  in  every  solitary  case  I  can  show  an 
intermarriage  of  blood.  If  this  be  true,  is  not  the  in- 
heritance which  we  entail  upon  our  children  fraught 
with  incalculable  loss  and  suffering  ? 

These  intermarriages  are  never  uniform  in  their  de- 
velopment upon  the  children.  The  most  feeble  form 
of  manifestation  is  eccentricity,  in  which  the  child  is 
said  to  be  odd,  and  does  not  incline  to  join  in  the 
sports  of  others  of  its  age.  Imbecility  of  body  and 
mind  is  a  fuller  development  of  the  infirmity,  and  such 
children  are  characterized  as  feeble  or  puny.  Mono- 
mania and  insanity  are  amongst  the  consequences  ; 
but  the  worst  form,  and  that  which  oftenest  occurs,  is 
idiocy,  and  unfortunately  for  the  sufferer,  it  is  that  form 
from  which  there  is  the  least  hope  of  improvement. 

Large  and  respectable  as  this  family  has  become,  and 
widely  as  they  are  dispersed  by  migration,  they  have 
never  acquired  any  special  distinction  for  learning  or 
wealth.  Magistrates,  physicians  and  clergymen  are 
to  be  found  in  almost  every  generation,  and  religionists 
are  quite  conspicuous  among  the  women  as  well  as  the 
men,   and   I   believe  as  a  general  thing  they  may  be 


12  LUDWIG  GENEALOGY. 

characterized  as  a  family  of  good  common  sense  and 
true  patriotism.  The  compiler  asks  no  thanks  for  fur- 
nishing this  little  volume.  He  has  no  other  wish  than 
to  cultivate  a  reverence  for  your  parentage  and  a 
proper  solicitude  for  your  children,  and  ignores  the 
idea  of  making  any  attempt  to  elaborate  an  ancestral 
tree.  His  only  aim  is  to  fix  a  few  facts,  important  and 
interesting  only  to  those  connected  in  this  family  chain, 
hoping  thereby  to  awaken  in  the  hearts  of  those  who 
may  hereafter  come  upon  the  stage  of  being  a  desire 
to  emulate  the  virtues,  if  there  be  any,  and  avoid  the 
errors  of  those  who  have  gone  before.  He  would  say 
with  Cowper : 

"  My  boast  is  not  that  I  deduce  my  birth 
From  loins  enthroned,  and  rulers  of  the  earth, 
But  higher  far  my  proud  pretensions  rise, 
The  son  of  parents  passed  into  the  skies." 


LUDWIG  GENEALOGY, 


JOSEPH  LUDWIG. 

The  origin  of  the  name  Ludwig  does 
not  appear  to  be  involved  in  so  much  ob- 
scurity, nor  to  have  the  same  derivation 
that  many  of  the  family  names  among 
the  German  peasantiy  have ;  for  in  many 
instances,  as  in  §ptmmmit<wtt,  Timberman, 
or  Carpenter,  the  individual  is  named  for 
the  trade  he  has.  So  in  §§§frittffatf,  Stone- 
heart,  or  hard  heart,  the  individual  is 
named  for  his  want  of  feeling.  Again, 
fH^ottcmatm,  Handsomeman,  the  individual 
is  named  from  his  personal  appearance,

clusively that  most  of  the  German  names 
have  more  than  an  ordinary  significance.

COUNTESS. 


Thou  would'st  oppose  thy  father  then,  should  he 
Have  otherwise  determined  with  thy  person  ? 
Thou  meanest  to  force  him  to  thy  liking  ?     Child, 
His  name  is  Friedland. 


THEKLA. 


My  name  too  is  Friedland, 
He  shall  have  found  a  genuine  daughter  in  me. 

The  German  name  Ludwig  appears  to 
be  an  exception  to  this  rule,  and  I  think 
it  may  justly  be  regarded  as  an  official 
or  royal  title,  the  same  as  George,  Charles, 
&c,  and  is  translated  Louis.  The  first 
we  see  of  its  receiving  this  distinction  is 
when  Charlemagne  resigned  his  Empire 
of  the  West  to  his  only  son  Ludwig,  in 
814.  Subsequently  his  grandson  of  the 
same  name  was  appointed  by  his  father 
to  the  throne  of  Bavaria,  and  the  family, 
notwithstanding  the  many  serious  na- 
tional conflicts,  have  retained  the  title 
until  the  present  time. 

The  ancestral  line  of  Joseph  we  do  not 
propose  to  pursue ;  but  his  birth,  and  the 


LUDWIG  GENEALOGY.  15 

time  of  his  migration  to  this  country,  is 
ascertained  with  the  fullest  certainty.  It 
appears  by  his  passport,  and  other  statis- 
tics in  our  possession,  that  he  was  born 
in  Kinderroth,  Province  of  Dietz,  Ger- 
many, in  1699,  and  left  there,  with  his 
wife  Catherine  Kline,  and  three  children, 
together  with  sixty  other  German  fami- 
lies, for  America,  under  the  auspices  of 
Brig.  Gen.  Samuel  Waldo,  in  June,  1753, 
and  while  in  the  English  Channel  they 
touched  at  Cowes,  Isle  of  Wight,  when  he 
and  several  other  passengers  died,  and 
were  buried  on  the  coast  of  France.  The 
remainder  of  the  family  arrived  safe  at 
"  Broad  Bay/7  Waldoboro',  where  a  Ger- 
man colony  was  formed,  the  September 
following. 

All  the  motives  which  actuated  this  fam- 
ily in  migrating  to  America  cannot  now  be 
easily  determined.  They  may  have  been 
personal  or  public.  A  desire  to  escape 
civil  or  religious  persecution  would  be 


1Q  LUDWIG  GENEALOGY. 

very  natural,  so  would  a  desire  to  im- 
prove their  condition,  by  increasing  their 
means  of  support.  With  their  iron  con- 
stitutions, and  confirmed  habits  of  indus- 
try and  frugality,  nothing  is  more  rea- 
sonable than  to  suppose  that  the  flatter- 
ing inducements  held  out  by  Gen.  Waldo 
in  the  proclamation  which  he  issued 
in  Frankfort,  and  circulated  throughout 
Germany  in  1753,  was  the  principal 
cause  of  drawing  so  large  a  colony  to 
this  country.  To  be  sure,  they  had  suf- 
fered much  from  oppressive  taxation  and 
other  burdens  incident  to  frequent  and 
long  continued  wars,  but  they  had  be- 
come accustomed  to  these;  and  all  ex- 
perience shows  that  mankind  are  dis-^ 
posed  to  suffer,  while  evils  are  sufferable, 
rather  than  to  improve  their  condition  by 
abolishing  those  habits  of  life  toHvhich 
they  are  accustomed.  Hence  it  is  to  be 
inferred  that  the  prospect  opening  in 
America  was  the  motive  power.     Wal- 


LUDWIG   GENEALOGY.  yj 

do's  proclamation  reads  thus:  "To  every 
family  will  be  given  one  hundred  and 
twenty  acres  of  land,  and  the  land,  pro- 
vided they  dwell  upon  it  seven  years, 
either  in  person  or  through  a  substitute, 
shall  be  guaranteid  to  them,  their  heirs 
and  assigns  forever.  To  every  one  hun- 
dred and  twenty  families  there  shall  be 
given,  for  the  use  of  the  church,  two  hun- 
dred acres.  To  the  school,  two  hundred 
acres,  and  to  the  first  preacher  settling 
among  them  two  hundred  acres. 

"  As  soon  as  they  arrive  in  Broad  Bay, 
if  they  are  Protestants,  they  will  enjoy  the 
protection  of  the  laws,  and  will  be  au- 
thorized, as  soon  as  the  one  hundred  and 
twenty  families  are  together,  to  send  a 
deputy  to  the  General  Court  to  represent 
them;  will  be  obliged  neither  to  bear 
arms  nor  carry  on  war;  in  case  war 
should  arise,  they  will  be  protected  by 
the  government,  and  the  free  exercise  of 
all  Protestant  religions   will  be  granted 


18  LUDWIG   GENEALOGY. 

them.  On  the  other  hand,  the  govern- 
ment demands  nothing  further  in  return 
than  that  every  one  hundred  and  twenty 
families  shall  call  and  support  a  learned 
Protestant  minister  within  five  years  from 
the  time  of  these  grants."  The  climate, 
the  soil,  and  the  fruitfulness  of  the  coun- 
try, are  all  painted  in  glowing  colors,  in- 
deed the  whole  country  is  made  to  appear 
superior  to  the  land  they  are  about  to 
leave  forever.  As  a  last  and  final  induce- 
ment, they  are  told  that  there  shall  be 
given  them  on  their  arrival  all  necessaiy 
support  for  from  four  to  six  months,  as 
they  arrive  early  or  late  in  the  season. 

Of  Joseph  Ludwig's  personal  history 
we  know  but  little,  except  that  he  was  a 
farmer  and  went  frequently  to  the  large 
market  town,  often  taking  one  of  his  two 
boys  with  him.  While  they  lived  they 
often  told  of  going  with  their  father  to 
Frankfort  on  the  Main,  to  Darmstadt, 
and  other  large  towns,  where  he  was  in 


LUDWIG   GENEALOGY.  19 

the  habit  of  selling  his  surplus  produce, 
and  bringing  back  books  and  other  useful 
or  ornamental  articles  in  return.  His 
children  all  had  a  good  German  educa- 
tion and  a  trade.  Jn  the  rural  districts, 
in  the  valley  of  the  Rhine,  where  he  was 
born,  habits  of  industiy  and  economy 
were  early  inculcated,  and  a  good  know- 
ledge of  their  own  language,  with  a  use- 
ful trade,  was  thought  to  be  indispensable 
by  all  the  peasantiy ;  and  their  laws  were 
such  then  that  they  could  not  avoid  either 
the  one  or  the  other  if  they  would.  He 
was  a  member  of  the  Lutheran  church, 
in  good  standing,  in  his  native  town,  and 
he  brought  his  certificate  of  membership 
with  him. 

His  wife  survived  him  a  number  of 
years,  and  her  remains  now  repose  on  the 
western  bank  of  the  Madomok,  near  the 
old  German  church  yard.

SECOND  GENERATION. 

Jacob  Ludwig,2  oldest  son  of  Joseph,1  of 
Dietz,  was  born  in  Germany  in  1730,  set- 
tled in  Bro&d  Bay  in  1753,  and  married 
Marguritte  Hilt  in  1755.  He  and  his 
brother  Joseph  Henry  located  themselves 
on  opposite  sides  of  the  Madomok  River 
immediately  after  their  arrival,  and  the 
farms  which  they  then  purchased  they 
continued  to  occupy  and  improve  till  the 
time  of  their  death.  Their  tastes  and 
vocations  were  very  similar,  often  serving 
the  town  or  individuals  in  their  common 
affairs,  as  well  as  those  of  more  difficult 
and  responsible  character.  They  had 
held  all  the  offices  of  trust  and  profit 
within  the  gift  of  the  people,  from  com- 


LUDWIG    GENEALOGY.  23 

mon  road  surveyor  to  that  of  town  rep- 
resentative, besides  the  executive  ap- 
pointments of  notary  public  and  justice 
of  the  peace. 

In  Eaton's  History  of  Warren,  he  says: 
Broad  Bay  was  incorporated  into  a  town 
by  the  name  of  Waldoboro,  in  1773.  Its 
boundaries  were  not  well  defined,  and  it 
became  subsequently  a  matter  of  dispute, 
but  was  finally  arranged  by  mutual  con- 
sent; but  not  being  familiar  with  the 
case,  we  shall  pursue  it  no  farther,  hop- 
ing that  some  one  competent  to  the  task 
will  give  it  in  a  manner  worthy  its  pos- 
terity and  the  character  and  enterprise  of 
its  inhabitants,  not  forgetting  to  do  jus- 
tice to  its  German  fathers,  among  whom 
were  particularly  distinguished  Jacob  and 
Joseph  Ludwig,  who  in  spite  of  every  dis- 
advantage found  means  to  acquire  enough 
of  the  English  language  to  enable  the 
former  to  record  the  early  transactions  of 
the  town  intelligibly,  and  both  of  them  to 


24  LUDWIG   GENEALOGY. 

represent  it  efficiently  in  the  Legislature 
of  Massachusetts. 

Jacob,  or,  as  baptized,  John  Jacob 
Ludwig,  was  about  eighteen  years  old 
at  the  time  of  his  arrival  in  America. 
In  the  latter  part  of  the  French  and  In- 
dian war  he  seems  to  have  resided  in 
Boston,  where  he  enlisted  into  the  army, 
and  did  service  at  Ticonderoga,  Lake 
George  and  Crown  Point,  and  was  pro- 
moted to  the  rank  of  orderly  sergeant. 
When  the  town  was  incorporated;  in 
1773,  he  was  chosen  the  first  town  clerk, 
and  one  of  the  first  selectmen,  which  offi- 
ces he  continued  to  fill,  with  few  inter- 
missions, for  forty  years.  He  frequent- 
ly represented  the  town  in  the  legislature, 
and  sustained  other  town  offices. 

In  1776  he  was  appointed  captain  of  a 
company  sent  to  Machias  for  the  protec- 
tion of  that  place.  In  1788,  and  at  sev- 
eral subsequent  periods,  he  was  appointed 
a  notary  public,  and  in  1789  appointed 


LUDWIG   GENEALOGY.  25 

justice  of  the  peace,  which  latter  office  he 
held  till  near  the  close  of  his  life. 

His  knowledge  of  both  English  and 
German  eminently  qualified  him  to  act 
as  magistrate  among  a  mixed  population, 
nearly  ignorant  as  they  were  for  a  time  of 
each  other's  language.  He  retained  his 
faculties  up  to  the  time  of  his  death, 
which  took  place  at  Waldoboro'  January 
1,  1826. 

The  following  lines  seem  very  appro- 
priate, addressed  to  his  memory,  from  the 
prospect  attained  in  a  view  from  a  win- 
dow in  the  old  homestead: 

I  look  out  at  the  window  now, 

Which,  like  an  old  eye  glazed  and  dim, 

And  blinded  by  the  falling  snow, 
Seeks  in  the  graveyard  after  him 
Who  slumbers  there, 

While  I  sit  in  his  ancient  chair. 

There  the  tall  poplars  waving  high, 
Pencil  long  shadows  on  the  ground, 

Writing  with  fingers  from  the  sky 
An  epitaph  for  every  mound. 
He  planted  these  — 

These  beautiful  and  grand  old  trees. 


26  LUDWIG   GENEALOGY. 

The  patriarch  of  the  fields  has  gone 

To  the  republic  of  the  dead. 
Soon  we  shall  follow,  one  by  one, 

And  under  the  cold  turf  be  laid. 
But  we  shall  rise  — 
There  are  no  graves  beyond  the  skies. 

His  children  and  grand-children  fill 

The  gray  old  homestead  which  he  planned, 

The  cottages  that  crown  the  hill  — 
And  own  for  many  a  rood  the  land 
That  swells  afar, 

To  hills  that  meet  the  morning  star. 


JACOB  LUD WIG'S2  WILL. 

In  the  name  of  God,  Amen.  I,  Jacob  Ludwig,  of 
Waldoborough,  in  the  county  of  Lincoln,  Esquire, 
fully  sensible  of  the  uncertainty  of  life,  and  conscious 
of  my  approaching  dissolution,  hereby  make,  declare 
and  publish  my  last  Will  and  Testament,  as  follows, 
to  wit : 

Firstly.  I  will  and  direct  that  my  executor,  herein- 
after named,  shall  pay  out  of  my  estate  all  just  and 
honest  debts  which  I  may  owe  at  the  time  of  my  de- 
cease    ^^'isH^'K^'H'K'K 

Thirdly.  I  will  and  bequeath  to  my  daughters, 
Margaret  Hoffses,  wife  of  Christian  Hoffses,  of  Wal- 
doborough, Eve  Catherine  Heibner,  relict  of1  Mathias 
Heibner,  deceased,  Elizabeth  Kobinson,  wife  of  Moses 
Robinson,  of  Warren,  Maria  Catherine  Kaler,  wife  of 
Jacob  Kaler,  late  of  Waldoborough,  deceased,  Cathe- 
rine Reed,  wife  of  Michael  Reed,  the  sum  of  two  hun- 
dred dollars  each,  to  be  paid  out  of  my  estate  by  the 
executor  of  this  last  Will  and  Testament,  as  follows : 
To  each  of  my  daughters  abovenamed,  or  to  their  heirs, 


LUDWIG   GENEALOGY.  27 

the  sum  of  fifty  dollars  annually,  computing  from  the 
day  of  my  interment,  with  interest  on  each  sum  of  fifty 
dollars  only  from  and  after  it  shall  become  payable. 

Fourthly.  I  will,  and  bequeath  to  my  eldest  son, 
Joseph  H.  Ludwig,  the  sum  of  two  dollars  at  the  ex- 
piration of  one  year  from  the  probate  of  this  instru- 
ment, which  with  a  farm  conveyed  to  him  by  me  here- 
tofore is  his  full  and  just  proportion  of  all  my  estate. 

Fifthly.  I  will,  bequeath  and  devise  unto  my  son, 
Jacob  Ludwig,  Junior,  the  farm  on  which  I  now  reside, 
and  all  other  real  estate  whatsoever  of  which  I  may 
die  seized  and  possessed,  including  one  pew  in  the 
German  Meeting  House,  so  called,  in  Walboborough, 
to  have  and  to  hold  to  him,  the  said  Jacob  Ludwig, 
Jr.,  his  heirs  and  assigns  forever.  I  also  g\§e  and  be- 
queath unto  my  said  son,  Jacob  Ludwig,  Junior,  all 
my  personal  estate  of  whatsoever  name  or  nature, 
howsoever  I  may  be  interested  in  the  same,  or  where- 
soever it  may  be  found,  subject,  however,  without 
evasion,  to  all  the  aforegoing  dispositions,  legacies  and 
bequests.       ******** 

Seventhly.  I  hereby  appoint  my  son,  Jacob  Lud- 
wig, Junior,  to  be  sole  executor  of  this  my  last  Will 
and  Testament;  and  I  hereby  revoke  and  annul  all 
wills  which  I  have  heretofore  made. 

In  witness  whereof,  I  have  hereunto  set  my  hand 
and  seal,  this  twenty-fifth  day  of  September,  in  the 
year  of  Our  Blessed  Lord  and  Redeemer  one  thousand 
eight  hundred  and  twelve.

Joseph  Henry  Ludwig,3  oldest  son  of 
Jacob2  and  Margarette  Hilt,  was  born  in 
Waldoboro',  1767,  m.  Margarette  Win- 
chenbach,  of  the  Dutch  Neck,  1791,  died 
1852.  He  always  lived  on  a  farm,  which 
his  father  gave  him,  on  the  eastern  side 
of  the  river,  about  five  miles  below  the 
village,    dividing    his   time  between   his

farm  and  his  household  till  he  died,  there- 
by showing  his  consistency  in  natural 
things,  as  he  always  did  in  spiritual 
things,  letting  his  faith  be  known  by  his 
works.  He  was  an  unusually  zealous  and 
devout  member  of  the  Lutheran  Church 
for  about  twenty  years,  when  he  was 
transferred  to  the  Congregational  Church, 
and  immediately  on  his  admission  was 
chosen  deacon,  and  continued  to  hold  the 
office,  with  much  credit  to  himself  and 
the  entire  satisfaction  of  the  church  and 
society,  till  he  died,  during  a  period  of 
over  thirty  years.

♦OBITUARY. 

Died,  in  Waldoboro7,  Sept.  17th,  Mr.  Isaac  Ludwig, 
aged  56. 

He  never  was  blessed  with  a  view  of  the  beauties  of 
this  world,  having  been  blind  from  infancy.  But  his 
mind  was  strong,  especially  his  memory.  He  could 
repeat  verbatim  long  passages  of  scripture  and  many 
hymns  which  he  had  acquired  by  hearing  them  read. 
He  could  also  tell  the  age  of  nearly  every  individual 
in  a  circuit  of  miles  around.  He  was  converted  under 
the  preaching  of  Rev.  Mr.  Mitchell  in  W.  more  than 
forty  years  ago.  He  united  with  the  Congregational 
Church  in  W.  in  Nov.  1818.  From  the  time  of  his 
conversion  until  his  death  he  maintained  a  remarkably 
consistent  Christian  character,  seeming  continually  to 
rejoice  in  hope.  His  spiritual  apprehension  of  the 
great  truths  of  Christianity  was  unusually  clear. 
Doubts  never  seemed  to  enter  his  mind.  The  language 
of  his  whole  life  and  character  seemed  to  be,  "  I  know 
whom  I  have  believed,  and  am  persuaded  that  he  is 
able  to  keep  that  which  I  have  committed  unto  him 
against  that  day."  He  was  very  useful  in  social  meet- 
ings, being  always  ready  and  active,  and  very  happy 
in  exhortation  and  prayer.  In  such  meetings  the  little 
church  of  which  he  was  a  member  when  he  died  (Sec- 
ond Congregational  Church  in  W.)  will  deeply  feel  his 
loss.  He  was  exceedingly  active  visiting  the  sick, 
encouraging  and  praying  with  them.  Neither  the  cold 
and  snow  of  winter  nor  the  heat  of  summer  could 
abate  his  zeal  for  doing  good.  He  was  often  seen  feel- 
ing his  way  along  the  road,  when  those  who  could  see 
would  remain  at  home.  Sometimes  when  the  snow 
was  so  deep  that  he  could  not  wade  through  it,  he  has 
been   seen  creeping  on  his  hands  and  knees  that  he 


LUDWIG   GENEALOGY.  35 

might  visit  some  sick  person  or  perform  some  other 
duty.  He  was  constant  in  his  private  devotions. 
Three  times  a  day  would  he  retire  'to  his  closet  and 
his  voice  be  heard  in  prayer.-  Even  the  very  coldest 
weather  could  not  keep  him  by  the  fireside  when  his 
hour  of  prayer  came.  When  his  sister,  with  whom  he 
lived,  would  ask  him  if  he  was  not  cold  when  thus  en- 
gaged, lie  would  answer,  "  0,  no,  my  heart  is  warm 
with  love  to  God,  and  that  warms  me  all  through." 
He  was  known  as  a  good  man  by  every  one  for  miles 
around,  and  will  be  much  missed  and  lamented.  But 
he  will  be  most  missed  at  home,  where  his  earnest, 
effectual  prayers  seemed,  to  those  near  and  dear  to 
him,  like  the  protecting  wings  of  a  guardian  angel. 
He  will  be  deeply  lamented  in  this  little  church,  now 
bereft  of  three  of  its  members  within  a  few  months.. 
He  will  no  more  go  from  house  to  house  to  exhort  and 
pray.  He  will  no  more  go  to  the  outskirts  of  the 
town  to  hold  his  little  meetings,  for  his  work  is  all 
done,  and  he  has  gone  to  his  rest.  He  used  to  love  to 
sing.  Now,  no  doubt,  he  is  singing  in  heaven.  The 
following  three  verses  were  great  favorites  with  him  : 

Thou  dear  Redeemer,  dying  Lamb, 

I  love  to  hear  of  thee; 
No  music  like  thy  charming  name, 

Nor  half  so  sweet  can  be. 

When  we  appear  in  yonder  cloud, 

With  all  the  favored  throng, 
Then  will  we  sing  more  sweet,  more  loud, 

And  Christ  shall  be  our  song. 

When  we've  been  there  ten  thousand  yeUrs, 

Bright  shining  as  the  sun,     •    • 
We've  no  less  days  to  sing  God's  praise 

Than  when  we  first  begun. 


36  LUDWIG  GENEALOGY. 

Although  death  came  upon  him  very  suddenly  and 
unexpectedly,  yet  his  good  hope  never  faltered.  On 
Sabbath,  Sept.  13th,  he  attended  meeting  all  day  and 
evening,  apparently  as  well  as  any  one  present.  In 
the  evening  he  seemed  in  a  very  happy  frame  of  mind 
as  he  spoke  of  his  good  hope  in  Christ  which  he  had 
possessed  more  than  forty  years,  and  recommended  it 
to  the  impenitent.  This  was  his  last  exhortation  and 
prayer.  He  was  taken  sick  the  next  morning,  and 
died  on  Thursday  afternoon.  His  good  hope  in  Christ 
sustained  him  to  the  very  last,  as  was  evident  from  the 
answer  he  gave  to  the  question,  "  Are  you  ready  to 
die  ?"  His  faint  answer  was,  "  Yes,  glory  be  to  God, 
I  am  ready  and  willing/7  And  our  dear  Bro.  Ludwig 
fell  asleep  in  Jesus,  to  awake  in  the  glorious  morning 
of  the  resurrection.  And  now  the  admonition  comes 
home  to  us  all,  "  Be  ye  also  ready,  for  in  such  an  hour 
as  ye  think  not  the  Son  of  Man  cometh."

Jacob  Ludwig,3  second  son  of  Jacob2 
and  Margarette  Hilt,  was  born  in  Boston 
in  1776,  and  removed  with  his  parents 
the  next  year  to  Broad  Bay,  where  he 
continued  to  live  upon  the  same  estate 
that  was  owned  and  occupied  by  his 
father,  ever  after.  He  was  married  by 
Patrick  Pebbles,  Esq.,  to  Susan  Hutchins, 
daughter  of  Robert  Hutchins,  of  Cushing, 
of  Scotch  Irish  descent,  in  the  year  1797, 
at  the  age  of  twenty,  and  died  Nov.  5, 
1858.     His  wife  died  Feb.  24,  1838. 

During  the  Irish  rebellions,  in  the  reign 
of  Queen  Elizabeth,  several  of  the  coun- 
ties in  the  north  of  Ireland  became  near- 
ly depopulated,  and  her  successor,  James 
I.  caused  those  counties  to  be  settled  by 
a  Protestant  population,  as  he  said,  to 
introduce  a  higher  state  of  cultivation 
among  them.  This  is  the  race,  flowing 
from  different  parts  of  Scotland,  which 
furnishes  the  material  of  the  Scotch  Irish 


LUDWIG   GENEALOGY.  39 

immigration  to  this  country,    and  from 
which  this  Hutchins  family  descended. 

They  settled  first  at  Boothbay,  and 
were  more  or  less  intermingled  with  the 
Dutch  and  Germans  of  that  region, 
their  descendants  many  of  them  con- 
taining blood  of  each  race,  and  blending 
their  joint  exertions,  their  distinct  origin 
almost  lost,  in  giving  prosperity  to  the 
country  which  their  ancestors  first  opened 
to  the  light  of  civilization. 

OBITUARY. 

Died,  in  Walboboro,  Nov.  3d,  1858,  Col.  Jacob  Lud- 
wig,  aged  82  years. 

Col.  Ludwig  was  of  German  descent.  His  father, 
Capt.  Jacob  Ludwig,  was  one  of  the  German  emigrants 
who  settled  at  Waldoboro'  in  1748,  was  an  orderly- 
sergeant  in  the  French  and  Indian  wars,  commanded  a 
company  in  the  war  of  the  Revolution,  aud  was  the 
first  representative  from  Waldoboro'  to  the  General 
Court  of  Massachusetts. 

Col.  Ludwig  had  but  few  early  advantages  of  educa- 
tion ;  possessing  a  strong  and  active  mind,  he  im- 
proved every  opportunity  to  obtain  knowledge.  He 
frequently  represented  Waldoboro'  both  in  the  Legis- 
lature of  Massachusetts  and  of  Maine.  He  was  one 
of  the  selectmen  of  the  town  for  more  than  a  quarter 
of  a  century,  and  a  deputy  sheriff  more  than  thirty 


40  LUDWIG  GENEALOGY. 

years.  Candid  and  decided  in  the  expression  of  his 
opinions,  prompt,  fearless  and  judicious  in  the  dis- 
charge of  duty.  Highly  respected  as  a  citizen,  few- 
men,  in  any  community,  have  received  and  retained 
for  so  long  a  time  the  confidence  of  the  people.  Prac- 
tically benevolent  and  public  spirited,  ever  giving  his 
influence  on  the  side  of  virtue,  morality  and  religion. 
Many  who  have  enjoyed  his  society  abroad,  or  par- 
taken of  the  cheerful  hospitalities  of  his  house,  will 
remember  his  manly  form,  gentlemanly  bearing,  gene- 
ral conversation,  and  the  fund  of  useful  information  he 
was  ever  ready  to  impart.  As  a  husband,  father  and 
friend  he  possessed  those  amiable,  kind  and  endearing 
qualities  which  make  happy  and  joyous  the  domestic 
circle.  As  a  christian,  he  exemplified  the  religion  of 
Jesus  more  by  his  consistent  life  and  conversation  than 
by  any  outward  profession. 

The  infirmaties  of  age  came  gradually  upon  him. 
He  remarked,  a  few  weeks  previous  to  his  death,  that 
his  faculties  were  impaired,  his  usefulness  ended  ;  he 
was  now  ready  and  waiting  his  summons  to  depart. 
His  last  sickness  was  short ;  the  day  before  his  death 
he  walked  in  his  fields,  apparently  as  well  as  usual. 
His  work  all  done  —  life  well  spent  —  the  summons 
came  —  and  he  has  gone  to  rest  awhile,  that  he  maybe 
present  at  the  resurrection  of  the  just.  R.

REMINISCENCES. 

With  this  third  generation  the  German 
language  is  but  little  spoken,  and  their 
religious  teachings,  which  have  been  un- 
interruptedly maintained  for  over  a  hun- 
dred years,  are  now  fast  giving  way 
before  an  advancing  system  of  English 
education.  From  their  earliest  arrival 
at  Broad  Bay,  in  1740,  they  had  relig- 
ious services  performed  on  the  Sabbath. 
Having  no  settled  minister  at  first,  one 
Charles  Leisnor,  who  came  over  with 
them  as  an  agent  for  Gen.  Waldo,  offi- 
ciated as  religious  teacher  until  his  death, 
in  1760.     After  Leisnor,  one  John  Ulmer, 


LUDWIG  GENEALOGY.  51 

of  their  colony,  was  employed  to  conduct 
their  meetings,  and  it  was  said  Gen. 
Waldo  allowed  him  a  fixed  sum  for 
preaching.  After  a  few  years  he  and 
his  family,  which  was  quite  numerous, 
removed  to  Thomaston,  and  took  up  that 
large  tract  of  land  at ."  Blackinton's  Cor- 
ner," embracing  all  the  valuable  lime 
rock  in  that  vicinity;  and  from  this 
family  descended  all  of  the  name  of 
Ulmer  in  Eockland  and  the  region  round 
about. 

Soon  after  this  the  Rev.  Frederick  Cro- 
ner  received  a  call,  married  one  of  John 
TJlmer's  daughters,  and  settled  as  their 
minister.  He  remained  about  four  years, 
and  was  dismissed.  The  next  clergyman 
whom  they  employed  was  the  Rev.  John 
Martin  Schaeffef,  last  from  Boston.  He 
agreed  with  them,  on  condition  of  having 
a  lot  of  land  as  a  settlement,  and  £3,  old 
tenor,  and  two  days'  work,  yearly,  from 
each  settler.     He  was  a  smart  preacher, 


52  LUDWIG  GENEALOGY. 

and  a  good  singer,  and  was  thought  to  be 
a  man  of  great  learning;  but  from  the 
want  of  proper  judges  it  is  difficult  to 
determine  what  his  literary  acquirements 
were.  His  moral  character  seems  to  have 
been  less  equivocal.  He  had  left  a  wife 
in  Germany,  seduced  the  wife  of  another, 
a  woman  of  great  personal  beauty,  and 
brought  her  over  to  this  country  with 
him. 

Not  satisfied  with  his  income  as  a 
preacher,  he  practiced  as  a  physician 
also,  and  gained  much  fame  as  well  as 
wealth  by  blood  letting  and  dealing  out 
medicine.  He  made  many  of  his  people 
believe  it  was  necessary  to  be  bled  every 
spring,  for  which  he  received  a  regular 
fee  of  fifty  cents  from  each  inhabitant  of 
adult  age.  As  wealth  increased,  restraint 
was  thrown  off,  and  his  vices  appeared 
without  a  blush.  He  was  very  profane, 
grew  intemperate,  and  though  a  stirring 
preacher,  gradually  lost  all  influence  as  a 


LUDWIG   GENEALOGY.  53 

minister  and  a  man.     (Eaton's  History  of 
Warren). 

It  is  told  that  during  the  Revolutionary 
War  a  Mr.  Dalham,  an  honest  old  soldier, 
returned  home  from  the  army  sick,  with 
a  Spanish  doubloon  in  his  pocket,  and 
learning  that  his  family  during  his  ab- 
sence had  been  sick  too,  and  that  Dr. 
Schaeffer,  their  family  physician,  had  been 
very  kind  and  attentive  during  their  sick- 
ness, hastened  to  discharge  the  obligation 
while  he  had  money.  He  found  the  doctor 
at  home,  and  in  a  brief  way  introduced 
the  subject,  and  threw  down  his  doubloon 
upon  the  table.  The  doctor  looked  about 
and  began  to  sum  up  as  follows,  as  he 
did  not  keep  any  books:  "Vel,  ven 
your  vife  vos  sick  first,  dat  vos  den  taller; 
next  dime,  vos  vour  taller ;  den  your  poy 
vas  sick,  dat  vas  one  taller,  and  one  half 
taller. "  Finding  the  doubloon,  which 
passed  for  $16.50,  was  not  wholly  con- 
sumed,  he  began   to   scratch    his    head 

6 


54  LTJDWIG  GENEALOGY. 

to  quicken  his  recollection,  and  then  an- 
nounced, "  Oh !  your  last  schild,  I  chris- 
ted  dat,  dare  ish  another  half  taller." 
But  there  was  still  another  half  dollar 
unappropriated,  and  the  doctor  from  the 
beginning  seemed  not  to  be  satisfied  with 
anything  short  of  the  whole,  began  to 
ransack  his  brain  a  second  time,  looked 
wiser  than  before,  and  presto,  the  idea 
came  "  Oh !  now  I  cot  it,"  said  the  doc- 
tor, "One  dime  ven  we  dink  your  vife 
vill  die,  I  gift  her  the  sacrament ;  dat  vas 
another  half  taller,"  and  picking  up  the 
doubloon,  fled  to  another  room,  relieving 
poor  Mr.  Dalham  from  any  further  care 
about  the  money. 

From  this  time  a  new  era  seemed  to 
open  for  these  poor  people,  who  had  been 
wretchedly  imposed  upon  by  itinerant 
preachers. 

In  1795,  Frederick  Augustus  Rodol- 
phus  Benedictus  Ritz,  a  native  of  Ger- 
many,  was    called,   and    entered  imme- 


LUDWIG  GENEALOGY.  55 

diately  on  the  work  of  his  ministry.  He 
was  educated  in  his  native  country,  at 
the  University  of  Helmstadt.  He  was  a 
man  of  great  piety  and  learning,  and  emi- 
grated to  this  country  in  1751,  became  a 
member  of  the  Lutheran  Synod  of  Penn- 
sylvania, and  was  there  for  some  time 
as  pastor  of  four  congregations.  He  re- 
mained with  the  people  of  Waldoboro' 
until  his  death,  which  was  in  1811,  uni- 
versally lamented  not  only  by  his  church 
and  society,  but  by  all  who  knew  him. 
The  Rev.  Paul  Coffin,  D.D.,  of  Buxton, 
Me.,  a  Congregational  clergyman,  in  mak- 
ing a  tour  through  the  wilderness  of  Maine 
as  a  missionary  in  1796,  called  upon  Mr. 
Ritz,  and  says  of  him :  "  He  could  not  pro- 
nounce th.  Th  and  with  could  not  sound 
from  his  Dutch  (German)  mouth.  He 
knew  something  of  five  languages,  as 
did  I.  We  both  knew  something  of  the 
Latin,  Greek,  French  and  English.  He 
knew  Dutch  (German)  to   which   I   op- 


1 


56  LUDWIG   GENEALOGY. 

posed  my  Hebrew.  He  appears  sociable, 
benevolent  and  pious,  and  is  something 
of  a  divine.77 

Previous  to  Mr.  Eitz,  a  very  popular 
Moravian  clergyman,  by  the  name  of 
Cilly,  was  employed  here  for  a  time,  and 
when  he  left  about  seventy  of  his  con- 
verts went  with  him.  They  settled  in 
North  Carolina,  and  their  descendants 
have  become  quite  numerous,  though  the 
name  of  Kinsel,  which  was  among  the 
emigrants,  has  become  extinct  in  the 
male  line. 

Eev.  John  William  Starman,  who  suc- 
ceeded Mr.  Eitz,  in  1811,  was  born  in 
Sennep,  a  town  in  Ehenish  Prussia,  Ger- 
many, about  four  miles  from  Dusseldorf, 
one  of  the  old  cities  on  the  western  bank 
of  the  Ehine,  where  he  served  an  appren- 
ticeship to  fit  him  for  commercial  life. 

Note. — The  writer  of  this  article  was  in  Dusseldorf 
a  few  years  ago,  and  conversed  with  several  who  knew 
Mr.  Starman  personally,  when  he  was  employed  as  a 
clerk  in  the  store  of  a  woollen  draper  in  that  city,  and 


LUDWIG   GENEALOGY.  57 

from  those  persons  he  learned  something  of  his  early 
history. 

He  received  the  rudiments  of  his  education  in  his 
native  town  and  his  father's  house,  and  was  designed 
for  a  merchant ;  but  after  the  death  of  his  father  in 
178?,  who  was  a  Lutheran  clergyman,  he  came  to  New 
York,  and  put  himself  under  the  tuition  of  the  late 
Kev.  F.  W.  Geissenhainer,  D.  D.,  a  celebrated  divine* 
in  the  study  of  theology,  and  it  was  there  he  prepared 
himself  for  the  Gospel  Ministry,  and  in  due  time  offered 
himself  to  the  Lutheran  Synod  for  examination.  He 
was  examined,  accepted  and  received  a  license  to 
preach  to  any  vacant  congregation.  Soon  after,  he 
received  a  call  from  the  people  of  Waldoboro,  where 
he  preached  in  the  German  language  till  1840.  By 
this  time  he  had  acquired  some  knowledge  of  the 
English  language  and  gave  the  people  his  first  written 
sermon.  Many  were  there  from  other  societies  out  of 
curiosity  to  hear  him.  Although  it  was  not  a  perfect 
failure,  you  might  say  with  the  poet,  vox  hcesit  fauci- 
bus.  He  however  persevered,  and  in  a  few  years  was 
not  only  able  to  speak  the  English  language  correctly, 
but  to  discharge  the  duties  of  Superintendent  of  Com- 
mon Schools,  to  which  office  he  had  been  elected,  to 
the  entire  acceptance  of  that  large  and  intelligent 
community  in  which  he  lived. 

When  the  people  of  this  colony,  who  as  a  nation 
were  devout,  arrived  at  Broad  Bay  in  1140  and  IT 53, 
most  of  them  were  members  of  the  church,  and  those 
who  were  not  soon  became  so.  The  prerequisites  for 
admission  were,  a  profession  of  faith,  with  an  ability 
to  repeat  the  articles  of  their  belief,  (Ghristlichen 
glaubens,)  and  the  Lord's  Prayer,  which  they  call 
Vater  unser.  Many  were  admitted  by  the  time  they 
6* 


58  LTTDWIG  GENEALOGY. 

were  ten  years  old.  This  lax  and  unsatisfactory  test, 
together  with  a  discrimination  which  was  made  at  the 
communion  table,  seemed  to  call  for  reform.  The 
church  had  been  divided,  from  the  first,  between  the 
Lutherans  and  the  German  Reformed.  At  the  celebra- 
tion of  the  Lord's  Supper,  the  former  took  the  bread 
and  wine  from  the  communion  service  themselves, 
while  the  latter  had  the  bread  put  into  their  mouths 
and  the  wine  cup  held  to  their  lips  by  the  deacon. 
Mr.  Starman  labored  hard  and  long  to  reconcile  these 
differences,  telling  them,  among  other  things,  that 
they  were  all  of  one  Father  and  ought  to  be  of  one 
faith.  From  the  time  he  first  came  among  them,  he 
began  to  inaugurate  a  more  rational  and  rigid  disci- 
pline, with  reference  to  church  membership,  requiring 
some  other  evidence  of  fitness  besides  an  ability  to 
repeat  the  articles  of  their  belief  and  the  Lord's  Prayer, 
and  he  had  the  satisfaction  of  living  long  enough  to 
see  both  sects  come  to  the  same  communion  table  and 
unite  in  one  great  brotherhood  of  the  church  in  undi- 
vided fellowship. 

The  old  church  edifice  in  which  all  the 
German  clergymen  of  the  place  have 
officiated  in  the  order  in  which  they  have 
been  presented,  is  still  standing,  about 
one  mile  south  from  the  village,  on  the 
western  bank  of  the  Madomok  River,  in 
a  tolerable  state  of  preservation, —  in- 
deed, with  no  marks  of  neglect  or  decay 
save  those  made  by  the  "  tooth  of  time."

CAPTURE    OF   THE    SHIP   HIRAM,   A.  D.  1800. 

The  following  account  of  the  capture  and  recapture 
of  the  ship  Hiram,  when  commanded  by  Capt.  Samuel 
Austin  Whitney,  has  at  length  been  found  in  the  col- 
umns of  the  New  England  Palladium  for  January  16, 
1801.  About  the  same  time,  a  more  detailed  account 
appeared  in  a  Castine  paper,  which  it  is  hoped  may 
yet  be  recovered. 

Samuel  Austin  Whitney  was  born  in  Concord,  Mass., 
Sept  21,  H70,  and  at  the  date  of  this  occurrence  was 
thirty  years  of  age.  His  brother  Henry,  born  Jan. 
29,  11 83,  was  in  his  eighteenth  year.  They  were  the 
sons  of  Samuel  and  Abigail  (Cutler)  Whitney,  succes- 
sively of  Boston,  Concord  and  Castine.     A  few  copies

Boston,  Oct.  8,  1859.  H.  A.  W. 

From  "  The  Mercury  and  New  England  Palladium, " 
of  Friday,  January  16,  1801.  Printed  in  Boston. 
Extract  of  a  letter  from  Gapt.  Whitney,  of  the  ship 
Hiram,  to  a  gentleman  of  this  town,  dated  "Fort 
[Port]  Royal,  Martinique,  November  18.  [1800.]  - 
"I  arrived  here  the  13th  inst.,  after  being  twice 
taken  and  re-taken  ;  and  one  hundred  and  two  days  at 
sea.  I  left  Liverpool  the  2d  of  August,  and  on  the 
13th  September,  being  in  longitude  55°  and  latitude 
29°,  I  was  taken  by  a  French  sloop-of-war,  and  all  my 
people  taken  out,  except  Harry,  (second  mate,  a 
brother  of  Oapt.  W.,  aged  seventeen  years,)  one  man, 
and  a  boy  twelve  years  of  age,  an  apprentice  of  mine  ; 
and  manned  with  ten  Frenchmen,  and  ordered  for  Cay- 
enne. I,  being  determined  on  an  attempt  to  retake 
my  ship,  on  first  discovering  her  to  be  French,  loaded 
my  pistols  and  hid  them  in  a  crate  of  ware,  which  had 
I  not  done  I  should  have  lost  them,  for  no  less  than 
three  different  times  were  my  trunks  searched  for  them, 
as  were  the  cabin  and  all  parts  of  the  ship  which  they 
could  come  at.  They  found  my  ammunition,  but  my 
pistols  were  secure  ;  and  such  was  their  extreme  cau- 
tion, that  they  would  not  allow  any  man  to  be  off 
deck ;  but  ate,  drank  and  slept  on  deck. 

"  Finding  that  I  could  not  obtain  any  advantage  of 
them  by  getting  them  below,  I  determined  to  attack 
them  openly,  by  daylight.  Therefore,  at  about  four 
o'clock,  on  the  fourth  day  after  being  taken,  I  secured 
my  pistols  in  my  waistband,  having  previously  told 
Harry  and  my  man  my  determination,  and  directed

them  to  have  a  couple  of  handspikes  where  'they  could 
clasp  their  hands  upon  them  in  an  instant,  and  when 
they  saw  me  begin,  to  come  to  my  assistance. 

"  The  Prize  Master  was  now  asleep  on  the  weather 
hen-coop,  his  mate  at  the  wheel,  and  the  crew  on  dif- 
ferent parts  of  the  main  deck.  Under  these  circum- 
stances, I  made  the  attempt  by  first  knocking  down 
the  mate  at  the  wheel.  The  master  started  up  so 
quick  that  I  could  get  but  a  very  slight  stroke  at  him  ; 
upon  which  he  drew  his  dirk  upon  me,  but  I  closed  in 
with  him,  sallied  him  out  of  the  quarter  rail  and  threw 
him  overboard  ;  but  he  caught  by  the  main  chains, 
and  so  escaped  going  into  the  water.  By  this  time  I 
had  the  remaining  eight  upon  me,  two  of  whom  I 
knocked  backwards  off  the  quarter  beck,  and  Harry 
and  my  man  coming  aft  at  .this  time  with  handspikes, 
played  their  part  so  well  among  them  that  I  soon  got 
relieved.  I  then  drew  a  pistol,  and  shot  a  black  fellow 
in  the  head,  who  was  coming  at  me  with  a  broad-axe. 
The  ball  only  cut  him  to  the  bone,  and  then  glanced, 
but  it  had  an  excellent  effect,  by  letting  the  rest  know 
that  I  had  pistols,  of  which  they  had  no  idea.  By  this 
time,  the  mate,  whom  I  had  first  knocked  down,  had 
recovered,  and  ran  down  to  his  trunk  and  got  a  pistol, 
which  he  fired  directly  at  my  man's  face,  but  the  ball 
missed  him. 

"  The  Prize  Master,  whom  I  hove  over  the  quarter, 
got  in  again,  and  stabbed  Harry  in  the  side,  but  not 
so  bad  as  to  oblige  him  to  give  out  till  we  had  con- 
quered. In  this  situation  we  had  it  pell-mell  for  about 
a  quarter  of  an  hour,  when  we  got  them  a  running, 
and  followed  them  on,  knocking  down  the  hindmost, 
two  or  three  times  around  the  deck,  when  a  part  of 
them  escaped  below,  and  the  rest  begged  for  mercy, 


LUDWIG  GENEALOGY.  §3 

which  we  granted  on  their  delivering  up  their  weap- 
ons, which  consisted  of  a  discharged  pistol,  a  midship- 
man's dirk,  a  broad-axe,  a  hand-saw,  &c.  We  then 
marched  them  aft  into  the  cabin,  and  brought  them  up 
one  at  a  time,  after  strictly  searching  them,  and  con- 
fined them  down  forward/ ' 

Ten  days  after  this  daring  action,  Capt.  W.  was 
again  captured  by  a  privateer  schooner  from  Guada- 
loupe,  who  plundered  his  ship  of  £8,000  or  £10,000 
sterling,  put  on  board  a  crew  of  15  French,  and  ordered 
her  for  Guadaloupe.  After  being  in  their  hands  46 
days,  he  was  retaken  by  an  English  frigate  and  sent 
into  Martinique.

graduated,  M.  D.,  Mid.  Coll.,  Vt.,  1824; 
removed  to   Thomaston  April  25,   1825,

where  he  has  enjoyed  a  full  share  of  the 
practice  of  his  profession  for  upwards  of 
forty  years.  He  was  married  by  Rev. 
George  Keely  to  Sophia  Balch,  a  pupil 
of  Harriet  Newell,  of  Haverhill,  Mass., 
May  6,  1830,  who  was  born  Sept.  5, 1807, 
and  d.  March  22,  1855. 

Among  the  official  stations  which  he 
has  occupied  may  be  mentioned  that  he 
was  one  of  the  original  founders  of  the 
academy  in  Thomaston,  in  1844,  and  be- 
ing one  of  the  trustees  by  act  of  incorpo- 
ration, he  was  chosen  the  first  president 
of  the  board,  and  has  been  re-elected  an- 
nually ever  since.  He  has  likewise  been 
one  of  the  directors  of  the  Mutual  Insur- 
ance Company  for  thirty  years,  and  is  now 
the  only  survivor  of  the  board  as  it  was 
at  the  time  of  his  election.  He  has  held 
the  position  of  Commissioner  on  State 
Prison  affairs ;  was  a  member  of  the  Leg- 
islature in  1860,  and  received  the  unani- 
mous support  of  his  party  for  Speaker  of 


LUDWIG  GENEALOGY.  35 

the  House  in  opposition  to  Hon.  Fred. 
A.  Pike,  of  Calais.  He  has  also  been  a 
member  of  the  Senate,  and  one  of  the 
trustees  of  the  Insane  Hospital. 

In  .1851,  his  health  became  impaired, 
and  by  the  advice  of  medical  friends,  he 
visited  Europe,  and  on  his  return  he  was 
so  much  recovered  as  to  be  able  to  resume 
the  practice  of  his  profession.  During  his 
absence  he  saw  much  of  Germany,  the 
birth  place  of  his  ancestors,  and  learned 
something  of  the  manners  and  customs 
of  her  people,  an  account  of  which  was 
published  in  the  "  Lincoln  Miscellany/ ' 
and  other  newspapers  of  the  day.

menting and  embellishing  an  old  burying 
place,  which  was  located  on  a  very  desir- 
able part  of  his  farm  when  he  purchased 
it,  intending,  no  doubt,  as  the  sequel 
proves,  to  make  it  a  final  resting  place 
for  himself  and  family.  Here  his  beauti- 
ful and  accomplished  daughter  Sarah  Mc- 
Cobb  lies  buried,  beside  her  young  and 
confiding  husband. 

Here,  too,  may  be  found  the  neglected 
grave  of  Rolan  Cushing,  Esq.,  of  Scotch 
Irish  descent,  a  man  of  rare  native  tal- 
ents, and  very  celebrated  as  a  lawyer. 
He  was  a  brother  to  Judge  William  and 
Charles  Cushing,  who  figured  largely  in 
this  State,  in  the  legal  profession,  a  hun- 
dred years  ago.  He  graduated  at  Har-

died  in  Waldoboro',  1788.  No  monumen-

We  take  from  the  Christian  Mirror  the  following 
account  of  William  Edward  : 

OBITUARY. 

Died  in  Waldoboro,  Nov.  19,  1864,  William  E. 
Ludwig,   aged  22  years  and  1   day. 

He  left  home  with  the  20th  Maine  Regiment,  Aug., 
1862,  and  arrived  in  Washington  in  time  to  participate 
in  driving  the  invaders  from  Maryland.  From  expo- 
sure and  rapid  marching  he  became  so  much  exhausted 
as  to  be  unfit  for  duty,  and  was  sent  to  the  hospital  in 
York,  Penn.  Unwilling  to  have  the  time  pass  by 
unimproved,  he  began  the  study  of  anatomy  and  sur- 
gery, and  by  diligent  attention,  together  with  frequent 


90  LUDWIG   GENEALOGY. 

opportunities  of  witnessing  the  army  practice,  he  had 
already  made  great  proficiency  and  had  decided  to  fol- 
low the  medical  profession  as  a  means  of  livelihood. 
Genial,  courteous  and  dignified,  he  won  alike  the  love 
of  the  aged  and  the  young.  Gifted  with  fine  musical 
talent,  he  was  never  chary  of  the  gift,  and  wiled  away 
many  a  weary  homesick  hour  amid  the  gloom  of  hos- 
pital life,  by  his  cheery  songs.  He  possessed  a  well- 
governed  mind,  and  had  the  power  of  concentrating  his 
thoughts  upon  whatever  subject  he  chose.  This  was 
his  crowning  acquisition,  and  the  hope  of  much  prom- 
ise to  his  friends. 

He  returned  from  City  Point  about  two  weeks  ago, 
where  he  had  been  prostrated  by  fever,  and  continued 
to  fail  rapidly  until  the  close  of  his  life. 

"At  home!"  as  he  uttered  these  words  the  morning 
after  his  return  to  his  father,  they  seemed  to  convey  so 
much  joyous  trustfulness,  as  to  hallow  them  with  a 
renewed  benediction. 

Never,  since  the  earliest  period  of  our  history  as  a 
nation,  could  it  be  more  truly  said  than  now,  that  our 
whole  land  is  the  "  Y alley  of  the  shadow  of  death.' ' 
There  is  scarce  one  spot  of  burial  ground,  but  some 
recently  upturned  sod  greets  the  eye,  speaking  more 
eloquently,  though  mutely,  than  any  human  voice,  of 
a  life  given  to  our  country,  and  with  still  more  tender 
meaning,  of  desolation  in  bereaved  hearts.  The  incense 
of  this  costly  sacrifice  of  youth,  health,  and  life,  laid 
upon  the  altar  that  thus  has  arisen  before  the  throne  of 
Him  "who  regardeth  all  things,"  is  not  lost.  The 
subject  of  this  brief  notice  left  school  and  home 
"  burning  with  high  hope/7  and  came  back  pale  and 
still  with  the  language  of  thanksgiving  upon  his  lips 


LUDWIG   GENEALOGY.  91 

and  the  light  of  a  new  found  Saviour's  love  beaming 
from  his  eyes.     This  thought, 

Earth's  lonely  pathway  cheereth, 

Bidding  the  darkness  from  around  it  flee; 

The  loved  in  life,  whom  death  the  more  endeareth, 
Dearest  shall  be  through  all  eternity,

The  oldest  son  of  this  family,  a  bright,

commanded  by  Rufus  Kelloch,  and  on  the 
9th  March,  1862,  sailed  from  Tenants 
Harbor,  St.  George,  with  a  fair  wind, 
bound  to  Calais,  Me.,  for  a  cargo  of  lum- 
ber, and  has  not  been  heard  from  since. 
During  the  first  night  out  the  wind  was 
variable,  with  squalls,  and  as  the  vessel 
was  light,  it  is  supposed  she  capsized, 
and  all  on  board  perished.  Some  three 
months  after,  the  captain's  chest  went 
on  shore  at  Cape  Cod.

Joseph  Fish,4  only  child  of  Charlotte 
Ludwig3  and  Samuel  Fish,  was  born  in 
Wal.,  1802,  and  m.  Jane  Young,  of  St. 
George,  1825;  at  the  age  of  twenty-one 
he  went  to  St.  George,  with  not  a  cent  in 
his  pocket,  and  engaged  successfully  in 
teaching  a  winter  school,  and  repeated 
the  task  for  a  number  of  winters  in  suc- 
cession; with  what  he  had  thus  earned 
by  teaching,  he  purchased  a  few  goods, 
and  opened  as  a  trader.  His  business 
increasing  rapidly,  he  was  soon  able  to

invest  a  little  in  navigation;  and  from 
that  day  to  this  his  business  has  con- 
tinued to  expand,  and  now  he  can  count 
his  ships  by  tens,  and  his  dollars  by  hun- 
dreds of  thousands.

Joseph  William  Ludwig,4  son  of  John3 
and  Sophrona  Pease  of  Hope,  was  born 
in  Waldoboro'  in  1828,  and  married  Cate 
J.  Post  of  South  Thomaston,  in  1850. 
He  was  but  six  years  old  when  he  was 
left,  by  the  death  of  his  father,  with  his 
mother  and  two  other  children  without 
any  means  of  support.  At  this  early 
period  he  began  to  think  the  life  of  a 
mariner  would  be  most  congenial  to  his 
taste,  and  in  a  few  years  he  commenced 
as  all  successful  boys  do,  first  as  cabin 
boy,  then  as  foremast  man,  and  from  that 
he  soon  became  master  and  owner.  Dur- 
ing the  late  rebellion  he  commanded  a 
government  steamship,  and  was  actively 
employed  during  the  whole  of  the  war. 
He  has  now  retired  with  honor  and 
wealth  to  the  peaceful  enjoyment  of  fam- 
ily and  home. 

The  Boston  Advertiser  of  the  12th  of 

February  speaks  of  him  as  having  pur-

"A  kiss  for  his  mother's  sake,"  was  given  to  him, 
after  his  death,  by  a  lady  who  took  care  of  him  during 
his  sickness.  From  this  incident,  the  late  Mrs.  L.  H. 
Sigourney  wrote  the  following  poem  : 

"Let  Me  Kiss  Him  for  His  Mother." — The  editor  of 
the  New  Orleans  Advocate  has  this  incident  about  the 
ravages  of  the  yellow  fever  in  that  city,  related  to  him 
by  one  of  the  Methodist  pastors  : 

u  The  preacher  was  called  a  few  days  since  to  attend 
the  funeral  of  a  young  man.  Before  his  sickness  he 
was  a  stout,  buoyant,  manly  youth.     He  was  from  the 


LUDWIG  GENEALOGY.  121 

State  of  Maine,  and  had  been  here  but  a  short  time. 
He  was  attacked  by  yellow  fever,  and  soon  died,  with 
no  mother  or  relative  to  watch  by  his  bedside,  or  to 
soothe  him  with  that  sympathy  which  none  but  those 
of  our  own  '  dear  kindred  blood  I  can  feel  or  manifest. 
He  died  among  strangers  and- was  buried  by  them. 
When  the  funeral  service  was  over,  and  the  strange 
friends  who  had  ministered  to  him  were  about  to  finally 
close  the  coffin,  an  old  lady,  who  stood  by,  stopped 
them  and  said,  '  Let  me  kiss  him  for  his  mother/  We 
have  yet  to  find  the  first  man  or  woman  to  whose  eye 
this  simple  recital  has  not  brought  tears." 

"  'TWAS  FOR  HIS  MOTHER'S  SAKE." 

BY   MRS.    L.    H.    SIGOURNEY. 

He  died  amid  a  stranger  band, 

Though  in  his  native  clime, — 
The  fever  smote  him,  and  he  fell 

In  his  fresh  morning  prime. 
A  strong  and  stalwart  youth  was  he, 

Reared  'mid  the  hills  of  Maine, 
And  in  his  wild,  delirious  dream, 

He  saw  those  hills  again. 

No  care  of  kindred  soothed  his  pain, 

Or  watch'd  his  sleepless  night, 
Or  cool'd  the  burning  lips  that  verg'd 

Into  the  deadly  white; 
But  unknown  hands  in  haste  prepared 

The  narrow  coffin  bed, 
And  a  small  funeral  group  drew  near 

Where  holy  prayers  were  said.* 

But  ere  the  coffin-lid  they  cios'd, 

An  ancient  woman  prest 
Forth  from  that  group,  and  laid  her  hand 

Upon  that  pulseless  breast, 
And  with  a  solemn  fervor  kiss'd 

The  forehead  cold  as  clay. 
"  'Tis  for  his  mother's  sake,"  she  said, 

And  mournful  turn'd  away. 


122  LUDWIG  GENEALOGY. 

And  so  that  mother's  friendship-seal 

Down  to  his  grave  he  bore, 
Who  never  to  their  cottage  home 

Shall  greet  her  darling  more; 
While  many  an  eye  unused  to  weep 

Felt  lingering  moisture  break, 
To  hear  that  aged  woman's  words — 

"  'Twas  for  his  mother's  sake." 
Hartford,  Jan.  IMh,  1859. 


The  incident  took  place  during  the  fever  in  New  Orleans,  in  the  sum- 
mer of  1858.

REMINISCENCES  OF  COTEMPORARIES. 

With  this  generation  teachers  of  the. 
English  language  began  to  be  employed, 
first  in  private  families,  then  in  our  pub- 
lic schools.  Newell  W.  Wetherbee,  of 
Barnstable,  Mass.,  was  engaged  in  the 
early  part  of  1800,  and  he  may  justly  be 
said  to  be  the  first  teacher  who  inspired 
the  children  with  a  love  for  English  litera- 
ture instead  of  their  vernacular  dialect. 

Hon.  Nathaniel  Groton,  soon  after  this, 
prepared  himself  for  a  public  education, 
and  he  was  the  first  young  man  on  the 
eastern  side  of  the  Kennebec  Eiver  who 
aspired  to  that  honorable  distinction. 
He  studied  the  languages  and  the 
higher  branches  of  mathematics  at  He- 
bron Academy,  which  was  then  in  high 
repute,  under  the  instruction  of  Bezaleel 
Cushman,  and  graduated  at  Bowdoin  Col- 
lege in  the  class  of  1814.  He  com- 
menced the  study  of  the  law  in  his  na- 


LUDWIG   GENEALOGY.  129 

tive  town,  in  the  office  of  Hon.  Isaac  G-. 
Reed,  an  eminent  lawyer,  and  finished  it 
with  that  distinguished  advocate  and  pol- 
itician, Hon.  Benjamin  Ames,  of  Bath. 
After  his  admission  to  the  bar,  he  opened 
an  office  in  Bath  for  the  practice  of  his 
profession.  In  1832  and  1834  he  was 
elected  State  senator  from  Lincoln  Coun- 
ty, and  in  the  latter  year  he  was  ap- 
pointed Judge  of  Probate,  which  office 
he  held  by  successive  executive  appoint- 
ments till  near  the  time  of  his  death, 
which  was  at  Bath,  his  adopted  town, 
Oct.  25,  1858. 


William  Jewett  Farley  was  the  second 
young  man  from  Waldoboro'  who  received 
a  public  education.  He  was  fitted  for 
college  at  Lincoln  and  Hebron  Academies, 
and  graduated  at  Bowdoin  in  the  class 
of  1820.  He  read  with  the  Hon.  Isaac 
G.  Eeed,  of  his  native  town,  and  was  ad- 

12* 


130  LUDWIG   GENEALOGY. 

mitted  to  the  Lincoln  bar  after  the  usual 
period  of  study.  He  located  himself  first 
at  Camden,  which  then  belonged  to  Lin- 
coln County,  in  1825 ;  from  there  he  re- 
moved, the  next  year,  to  Thomaston, 
where  he  and  his  family  contributed 
largely  towards  the  culture  and  social 
refinement  of  the  place,  and  became  a 
competitor  of  the  Hon.  John  Ruggles  and 
the  Hon.  Jonathan  Cilly  in  the  practice 
of  his  profession  and  in  the  party  politics 
of  that  day. 

He  was  a  young  man  of  a  high  order 
of  intellect,  and  uncommon  powers  of 
elocution,  and  very  acute  discrimination 
of  legal  principles,  and  soon  attained  to 
a  high  position  at  the  bar.  He  was 
twice  brought  forward  by  the  whig  party, 
of  which  he  was  the  exponent  in  Thomas- 
ton,  as  a  candidate  for  Congress,  and  with 
his  fine  abilities,  courteous  manners,  and 
amiable  disposition,  would  have  done 
honor  to   himself    and    his   constituents 


LUDWIG   GENEALOGY.  131 

had  he  been  elected;  but  for  want  of 
that  popular  element,  an  influence  with 
the  masses,  he  was  defeated.  Although 
he  died  young,  he  left  ample  proof  that 
had  his  life  been  prolonged  he  would  not 
only  have  been  an  ornament  to  the  bar, 
but  an  honor  to  the  State. 

He  was  twice  married:  first  to  Alice 
McKeene,  of  Brunswick,  daughter  of  Eev. 
Joseph  McKeene,  LL.  D.,  first  president 
of  Bowdoin  College,  May  10,  1826.  She 
died  in  1827.  He  married  for  his  second 
wife  Sarah  Emerson,  daughter  of  Robert 
Foster,  Esq.,  of  West  Chester,  Penn.,  a 
young  lady  of  rare  accomplishments,  Dec. 
10,  1829.  He  had  four  children  by  his 
second  wife:  1.  John;  2.  Alice  McKeene; 
3.  Benjamin  Emerson;  4.  Sally  Jewett, 
who  is  the  only  one  that  survived  her 
father,  and  she  is  still  living  in  Penn. 
He  died  in  Thomaston,  June  16,  1839, 
in  the  36th  year  of  his  age. 


132  LUDWIG  GENEALOGY. 

Isaac  Groton,  brother  to  the  Hon.  Na- 
thaniel, was  the  third  from  this  town  to 
receive  a  collegiate  education,  was  fitted 
at  Hebron  Academy,  and  graduated  at 
Bowdoin,  in  the  class  of  1821,  and  died 
in  1833,  aged  33.  He  read  law  in  the 
office  of  Hon.  Isaac  Gr.  Keed,  in  his  na- 
tive town,  and  after  he  was  admitted  to 
the  bar,  he  opened  an  office  in  Waldo- 
boro',  and  soon  acquired  great  notoriety 
as  a  collector,  and  it  is  believed  he  de- 
voted his  whole  time  and  energy  to '  that 
particular  branch  of  his  profession,  and 
so  lucrative  was  the  business,  that  al- 
though he  died  young,  he  died  rich. 


William  Ludwig,  after  receiving  a  com- 
mon school  education,  put  himself  under 
the  tuition  of  the  Rev.  James  Hall,  a 
graduate  from  the  University  at  Edin- 
burgh, Scotland,  and  then  gave  such 
attention    to    the    classics    and    higher 


LUDWIG   GENEALOGY.  133 

branches  of  mathematics  as  to  well 
qualify  him  for  admission  into  either 
of  our  colleges.  But  his  limited  means 
were  exhausted;  he  therefore  abandoned 
the  idea  of  anything  more  than  an  ele- 
mentary education.  In  this  state  of 
things,  he  entered  his  name  with  Dr. 
Benjamin  Brown,  as  a  student  in  medi- 
cine. After  the  usual  course  of  study, 
and  attending  two  full  courses  of  lectures, 
without  any  pecuniary  aid  except  what 
he  earned  by  teaching,  he  graduated  at 
Bowdoin  College  as  Doctor  of  Medicine 
in  1825.  Other  members  of  the  family 
underwent  a  similar  course  of  discipline ; 
but  as  a  paragraph  is  devoted  to  each  of 
them  in  the  genealogical  arrangement,  it 
is  not  thought  necessary  to  say  anything 
further  in  this  connection. 

Isaac  Reed,  who  had  advantages  be- 
yond many  of  his  time,  received  a  good 
classical   education  at  Bloomfield  Acad-

emy,  and  was  well  fitted  to  follow  in  the 
footsteps  of  his  father,  the  Hon.  Isaac  G. 
Reed  of  Waldoboro',  who  was  one  of  the 
soundest  lawyers  at  the  Lincoln  bar ;  but 
seeing,  or  fancying  that  he  saw,  a  shorter 
and  more  direct  road  to  wealth  and  re- 
spectability* and  one  more  congenial  to 
his  taste,  in  commercial  pursuits,  he 
abandoned  the  idea  of  a  profession,  and 
soon  became  not  only  rich,  but  one  of  the 
leading  men  of  the  State,  thereby  demon- 
strating the  sentiment  most  conclusively, 
that  wealth  is  the  royal  road  to  high 
social  position  as  well  as  official  prefer- 
ment, and  that  we  have  in  Republican 
America  a  moneyed  aristocracy,  notwith- 
standing our  boast  to  the  masses  that  the 
sovereign  people  rule.  He  was  State 
Treasurer  from  1856  to  1857 ;  has  been 
a  member  of  the  State  Senate  and  of  the 
Executive  Council,  and  served  three  years 
as  Trustee  of  the  Insane  Hospital.  In 
1854  and  1855  he  was  the  whig  candi-

date  for  Governor,  and  in  1852  and  1853, 
he  represented  his  district  in  the  Con- 
gress of  the  United  States. 

Edward  A.  Reed,  brother  of  the  pre- 
ceding, was  fitted  for  college  at  Warren 
Academy,  and  graduated  at  Union  Col- 
lege, K  Y.,  1836.  He  studied  his  pro- 
fession with  his  father,  the  Hon.  Isaac  Gr. 
Reed  of  Waldoboro7,  and  was  admitted  to 
practice  after  the  usual  course.  He  was 
a  young  man  of  eminent  abilities,  and 
was  every  way  qualified  to  prosecute  with 
distinguished  success  the  brilliant  career 
which  opened  before  him  He  early  dis- 
covered a  rare  talent  for  oratory  and  elo- 
cution, and  was  considered  one  of  the 
finest  speakers  at  Lincoln  bar ;  but  un- 
fortunately his  health  soon  became  im- 
paired, and  he  was  obliged  to  abandon 
the  profession  which  his  father  had 
chosen  for  him,  and  in  which,  if  his 
health  had  not  failed,  he  doubtless  would 


136  LUDWIG  GENEALOGY. 

have  made  himself  conspicuous,  and  have 
ranked  high  among  the  members  of  the 
bar. 

Augustus  F.  Lash  received  his  prepar- 
atory education  at  Bloomfield  Academy, 
and  from  private  teachers,  and  graduated 
at  Bowdoin  College  in  the  class  of  1829, 
and  died  1848.  He  took  charge  of  Lin- 
coln Academy  immediately  on  leaving 
college,  and  devoted  himself  exclusively 
to  teaching.  He  was  a  young  man  of 
strong  mind  and  much  energy  of  charac- 
ter, and  while  in  college  he  excelled  in 
the  department  of  mathematics.  He  was 
twice  married ;  first  to  Miss  Lydia  Myric, 
a  sister  of  Dr.  Lot  Myric,  late  of  Au- 
gusta; 2d,  Mrs.  Melcher  of  Newcastle. 
His  age  was  47.. 

John  Gr.  Brown,  a  young  man  of  much 
promise,  received  his  academical  course 
at  Newcastle  Academy,  and  studied  med- 


LUDWIG   GENEALOGY.  137 

icine  with  his  father,  Dr.  Benjamin  Brown 
of  Waldoboro',  and  graduated  as  Doctor 
of  Medicine  at  Bowdoin  College  in  the 
class  of  1826.  He  practiced  his  profes- 
sion several  years  in  Waldoboro',  mar- 
ried Miss  Bertha  Smouse,  a  step-daughter 
of  the  Hon.  Isaac  GL  Reed  of  that  town, 
a  young  lady  of  a  highly  cultivated  mind, 
and  great  personal  beauty,  removed  to 
the  new  and  rising  city  of  Bangor  in 
1835,  earned  quite  a  name  as  an  operat- 
ing surgeon  (a  department  in  which  his 
father  was  celebrated),  then  removed  to 
Roxbury,  Mass.,  where  he  buried  his  wife 
in  about  1840.  From  there  he  removed 
to  Reading,  Mass.,  where  he  married  a 
second  wife,  and  died  in  April,  1866. 

George  Sproul  is  one  of  the  few  young 
men  of  Waldoboro7,  who  received  more 
than  an  ordinary  education,  considering 
the  limited  advantages  the  town  afforded 
for  those  without  pecuniary  means.

In  1818  he  entered  Farmington  Acad- 
emy, then  under  the  care  of  Rev.  William 
A.  Drew,  now  of  Augusta,  and  remained 
there  for  a  time,  and  as  mathematics  was 
the  study  he  wished  to  pursue,  he  re- 
moved to  Bloomfield  Academy,  where  he 
was  told  they  had  a  mathematician,  in 
the  person  of  Rev.  James  Hall  of  Edin- 
burgh, Scotland,  who  was  not  excelled  by 
any  one  in  the  State,  and  so  he  found 
him.  Here  he  remained  about  two  years, 
industriously  employed  in  acquiring  in- 
formation. On  the  opening  of  the  Lyce- 
um at  Gardiner,  under  the  late  Dr. 
Holmes,  he  entered  that  institution,  and 
remained  some  two  years,  or  until  he 
had  acquired  a  thorough  and  a  finished 
English  education.  He  then  abandoned 
the  pursuit  of  letters  as  a  business,  and 
engaged  in  shipbuilding,  lumbering,  and 
the  like,  and  for  a  time  had  command 
of  a  ship  which  he  built  himself.  He 
soon,   however,  forsook   the   sea,    as  not

congenial,  and  employed  himself  about 
his  large  estate;  built  a  brick  block,  of 
large  proportions,  on  the  site  of  the  old 
homestead,  for  himself  and  tenants;  en- 
larged and  improved  his  mills,  wharves, 
and  other  productive  property,  and  was 
at  that  time  regarded  as  one  of  the  rich 
men  of  Waldoboro'.  But  in  an  evil  hour, 
when  in  the  height  of  his  prosperity,  a 
great  and  devastating  fire  broke  out  in 
the  village,  which  left  his  large  block, 
with  many  other  buildings,  nothing  but 
a  heap  of  smouldering  ruins,  without  any 
insurance.  None  disheartened,  he  com- 
menced the  next  day  making  prepara- 
tions, and  in  a  very  short  time  rebuilt 
the  entire  block,  in  its  original  style  of 
architecture,  and  it  has  been  occupied 
ever  since  to  its  utmost  capacity.  Mr. 
S.  has  always  been  a  hard  working,  in- 
dustrious man,  and  had  he  been  less  de- 
sultory in  his  operations  might  have  left

a  record  that  would   compare  favorably 
with  the  best  of  old  Waldoboro's  sons. 

Keuben  Seiders,  son  of  Jacob  Seiders, 
of  Waldoboro,  a  respectable  farmer,  in 
moderate  circumstances,  fitted  himself  for 
college  by  his  own  exertions,  and  was  a 
student  at  Bodowin  in  1827,  and  gradu- 
ated in  1831.  Subsequently  we  find  him 
in  the  divinity  school,  Cambridge,  Mass., 
where  he  graduated  in  1836,  and  became 
a  Unitarian  preacher. 

During  his  residence  in  Cambridge  he 
contracted  an  intimacy  with  a  beautiful 
young  lady,  of  family  and  fortune,  by  the 
name  of  Austin,  in  the  male  line  of  which 
the  name  had  become  extinct,  and  wish- 
ing to  perpetuate  it,  as  a  matter  of  com- 
promise, we  presume,  he  not  only  took 
her,  but  by  legislative  enactment  he  took 
her  name  also. 

She  and  her  mother,  who  constituted 
the  whole   family  previous  to   the   mar- 


LUDWIG   GENEALOGY.  141 

riage,  possessed  such  a  fortune  as  not  to 
require  any  effort  on  the  part  of  Mr.  S. 
in  the  way  of  support  for  the  family;  but 
like  a  retired  city  clergyman,  preached 
only  when  convenient  for  him  to  do  so. 
He  was  born  in  Wal.,  1809,  and  grad- 
uated by  the  name  of  Eichard  T.  Austin, 
at  Bowdoin,  in  1831,  and  at  Harvard 
Divinity  School  in  1836.  He  died  at 
Cambridge  in  1847,  aged  39. 

Edward  R.  Benner,  a  young  man  of 
German  origin,  descended  from  the  Le- 
vensaler  stock,  who  were  celebrated  for 
their  ability  to  acquire  knowledge;  they 
can  almost  be  said  to  be  learned  by  intu- 
ition. He  spent  three  years  at  Water- 
ville  College,  and  in  his  junior  year  en- 
tered Dartmouth  College,  N.  H.,  where 
he  graduated  in  1856.  He  has  been  a 
teacher  several  years,  and  is  now  an 
apothecary  in  his  native  town.

John  J.  Bulfinch,  son  of  John  Bul- 
finch  of  Waldoboro',  one  of  the  few  of 
our  old  school  lawyers,  was  educated  at 
Bowdoin  College,  and  graduated  in  1850; 
at  the  Bangor  Theological  Seminary  in 
1856,  and  is  now  a  settled  Congregational 
clergyman  in  Newcastle,  Me.,  where  he 
has  charge  of  a  large  and  intelligent 
church  and  society. 

Henry  A.  Kennedy,  son  of  Hon.  Henry 
A.  Kennedy  of  Waldoboro',  graduated 
at  Waterville  College  with  distinguished 
honor  in  1860,  and  is  now  deputy  col- 
lector at  the  port  of  Waldoboro'. 

Almore  Kennedy,  brother  to  the  above, 
was  a  Waterville  graduate  in  1860  also. 
He  read  law  with  Sebastian  S.  Marble, 
and  is  now  in  full  practice  in  his  native 
Waldoboro'.

Graduates. — The  town  of  Waldoboro' 
has  /iot  furnished  a  large  number  of  stu- 
dents in  our  colleges,  considering  the 
number  of  her  inhabitants  and  the 
amount  of  their  wealth;  nor  can  we 
present  so  long  a  list  of  graduates  as 
many  other  towns  in  the  State.  The 
preceding  chapter  gives  an  account  of  all, 
from  the  first  settlement  of  the  place  to 
the  present  day,  whose  names  have  ever 
appeared  on  a  college  catalogue.

OBITUARY. 

THE    LATE    REV.    0.    J.    FERNALD. 

The  funeral  of  the  lamented  clergyman  of  the  Unita- 
rian Church  at  Thomaston,  whose  sudden  decease  in 
this  city  we  announced  in  our  last  number,  took  place 
on  Sunday  afternoon,  12th  inst.,  in  that  town.  The 
universal  respect  and  esteem  in  which  this  good  man 
was  held  throughout  the  community,  were  evinced  in 
the  spontaneous  tribute  paid  to  his  memory  in  the 
assemblage  of  great  numbers  of  the  citizens  of  the 
towns  adjoining  his  residence,  as  well  as  of  almost  the 
whole  population  of  Thomaston,  to  unite  in  the  funeral 
solemnities.  Since  the  interment  of  General  Knox,  it 
is  said,  no  such  funeral  has  been  seen  in  this  part  of 
the  State.  The  sacred  remains  of  the  beloved  pastor, 
followed  by  the  bereaved  family  and  the  mourning 
relatives,  were  escorted  to  the  church,  so  many  years 
the  scene  of  his  cherished  labors,  by  a  procession  con- 
sisting of  several  hundreds  of  the  Masonic  Fraternity, 
of  which  Mr.  Fernald  was  an  honored  and  endeared 
member.  The  exterior  of  the  church  fronting  the 
street,  as  well  as  the  interior,  were  draped  in  mourn- 
ing, and  a  profusion  of  beautiful  flowers  —  the  flowers 
he  loved  so  well  —  from  the  sweet  arbutus,  native  of 
the  woods,  to  the  choicest  productions  of  parlor  and 
greenhouse  —  covered  the  cofiSn.  Rev.  Doct.  Robbins 
of  Boston,  his  own  former  pastor,  who  had  been  ex- 
pected at  the  obsequies,  but  was  unable  to  attend, 
wrote  :  "  I  had  great  esteem  for  Mr.  Fernald  as  a  man, 
and  especially  as  a  Christian  minister.  The  last  time 
I  saw  him  we  had  a  long  conversation,  and  I  was 
highly  gratified  and  impressed  by  the  earnestness  and 
positiveness  of  his  faith  in  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  our 


LUDWIG  GENEALOGY.  183 

blessed  Redeemer."  The  exercises  at  the  church, 
which  were  very  appropriate  and  touching,  were  con- 
ducted by  the  friend  and  fellow-student  of  Mr.  Fernald 
in  his  professional  studies,  Rev.  Mr.  Reynolds  of  Con- 
cord, Mass.,  who  came  here  expressly  on  this  mission 
of  duty  and  affection.  The  other  places  of  worship  in 
the  village  were  closed.  The  church  was  crowded  to 
overflowing  by  saddened  and  sympathizing  hearts,  and 
yet  not  one-fifth  of  those  assembled  were  able  to 
obtain  admission.  The  address  of  Mr.  Reynolds  was 
an  eloquent  and  touching  tribute  to  the  excellencies  of 
character  which  distinguished  the  departed  pastor. 
In  commencing  it,  Mr.  Reynolds  remarked  that  twelve 
years  before,  in  the  exercises*  of  the  ordination  of  Mr. 
Fernald  over  that  church,  it  was  his  part  to  grasp  his 
hand,  while  he  extended  to  him  the  fellowship  of  the 
churches  ;  and  now,  when  that  hand  was  nerveless  and 
cold  in  death,  he  had  come  to  speak  some  parting 
words  over  the  bier  of  his  friend,  and  to  testify  to  the 
fidelity  with  which  he  had  discharged  his  duty  as  a 
good  soldier  of  Jesus  Christ.  The  address  was  replete 
with  tenderness  and  pathos,  and  while  it  portrayed 
with  wonderful  accuracy  the  striking  traits  of  the 
gentle  and  loving  spirit  of  the  departed,  the  deepest 
fountains  of  feeling  were  stirred,  and  heart  beat  to 
heart,  responsive  to  the  utterance  of  the  speaker. 

The  appreciative  and  touching  analysis  of  the  late 
pastor's  character,  the  simple,  unstudied  statement  of 
his  faithfulness  to  his  holy  calling,  his  remarkable  un- 
selfishness, his  modesty  and  humility,  his  care  of  the 
"lambs  of  his  flock,"  his  earnestness  and  zeal  in  the 
cause  of  sound  learning,  and  his  untiring  energy,  in 
spite  of  physical  weakness,  to  make  the  community 
wiser  and  better,  showed  how  good  are  "  words  fitly 


184  LUDWIG  GENEALOGY. 

spoken,"  and  did  equal  credit  to  the  judgment  and 
heart  of  the  spsaker.  He  thought  the  deceased  pastor 
possessed  native  gifts  and  graces,  which,  consecrated 
to  the  service  of  God,  peculiarly  fitted  him  for  the 
Christian  ministry  ;  but  that  his  earnest,  true  life,  full 
of  labor  and  of  good  fruits,  made  him  worthy  of  the 
encomium  of  the  "faithful  servant/'  who,  having  re- 
ceived "five  talents,"  had  made  them  "five  talents 
more."  He  said  Mr.  Fernald  was  naturally  retiring, 
and  inclined  to  shrink  from  the  public  gaze  ;  and  that, 
singularly  free  as  he  was  from  all  ambitious  aspirations, 
it  was  duty,  and  duty  alone,  that  could  have  brought 
him  into  the  foremost  front  of  the  battle  of  life. 

The  interment  was  according'  to  the  forms  and  cere- 
monies of  the  Masonic  Institution,  which  were  con- 
ducted in  a  feeling  and  very  appropriate  manner  by 
Grand  Master  Drummond  of  Portland.  At  the  close, 
he  pronounced  a  touching  eulogium  upon  the  beloved 
brother  whose  remains  had  been  committed  to  the 
tomb,  "  earth  to  earth,  ashes  to  ashes." 

There,  in  the  peaceful  shades  of  that  pleasant  ceme- 
tery, amid  the  quiet  scenes  of  nature,  so  dear  to  him, 
the  waving  trees,  the  songs  of  birds,  the  balmy  breath 
of  flowers,  he  "sleeps  well."  For  him  we  will  not 
weep.  To  that  better  land  upon  which  he  earnestly 
strove  to  fix  our  thoughts  and  affections,  he  has  but 
led  the  way.  "  His  memory  shall  smell  sweet,  and 
blossom  in  the  dust."  But  for  the  bereaved  and 
afflicted  ones,  for  the  "lambs  of  the  flock,"  who  now 
have  no  one  to  gather  them  to  the  fold,  for  ourselves, 
wanderers,  as  "  sheep  without  a  shepherd,"  well  may 
we  "shed  the  bitter  drops  like  rain."  Alas!  the  de- 
voted pastor,  the  faithful  counsellor,  the  affectionate 
friend,  has  gone  from  us  forever?     "Help,  Lord,  the 


LUDWIG  GENEALOGY.  ^35 

godly  man  ceaseth —  the  faithful  fail  from  among  the 
children  of  men  !" 

The  following  hymn,  appropriate  and  beautiful, 
written  by  a  lady  of  Rev.  Mr.  Fernald's  society,  was 
read  at  the  church  by  Mr.  Reynolds,  and  sung  to  a 
plaintive  air : 

1. 
Thou  servant  of  the  Lord, 

Who  lived  to  do  His  will, 
Whose  loftiest  thought,  whose  highest  aim, 
Was  loving,  serving  still. 

11. 

Entered  into  the  rest 

That  "  His  beloved  "  see, 
Thy  labors  o'er — thy  victory  won  — 

Henceforth  'tis  "  well  with  thee  !" 

tn. 
But,  oh  !  for  us  who  mourn 

The  faithful  guide  and  friend, — 
How  can  the  o'erburdened  heart  but  bid 

Grief's  sacred  tears  descend  ! 

IV. 

For  thine  enfranchised  soul, 

From  earth-born  fetters  free, 
We  weep  not  —  but  the  loved  and  left 

Are  fain  to  yearn  for  thee. 


DOINGS  OF  EUREKA  LODGE,  ST.  GEORGE. 

At  the  stated  communication  of  Eureka  Lodge,  St. 
George,  May  9th,  1861,  the  following  preamble  and 
resolutions  were  adopted : 

Whereas,  it  has  pleased  the  Great  Disposer  of  events 
to  remove  from  among  us  in  a  sudden  and  unexpected 
19 


; 


186  LUDWIG   GENEALOGY. 

manner,  our  dearly  beloved  and  most  worthy  brother, 
Rev.  Oliver  J.  Fernald  of  Thomaston,  who,  by  the 
purity  of  his  heart  and  the  uprightness  of  his  life  mer- 
ited the  esteem  of  all  who  knew  him  ;  therefore, 

Resolved,  That  this  Lodge,  grieving  at  the  loss  of  an 
honored  brother,  one  who  was  useful  to  the  fraternity, 
from  whom  it  has  often  received  profitable  instructions 
and  kind  admonitions,  and  one  upon  whom  it  has  never 
called  in  vain,  can  but  feel  that  his  loss  to  it  and  to 
the  fraternity  in  this  region,  at  this  time,  is,  indeed, 
irreparable. 

Resolved,  That  we  will  ever  hold  in  remembrance  his 
purity  of  life,  his  gentleness  of  disposition,  and  his 
scholastic  attainments,  and  that  by  them  we  will  ele- 
vate our  own  characters  and  lives. 

Resolved,  That  we  deeply  sympathize  with  the  family 
of  our  deceased  brother  in  this  sudden  dispensation  of 
Divine  Providence,  and  commend  them  to  the  care  of 
Him  who  watches  over  the  widow  and  fatherless. 

Resolved,  That  the  furniture  and  jewels  of  this  Lodge 
be  put  in  mourning  for  the  period  of  thirty  days,  as  a 
tribute  of  respect  for  our  departed  brother. 

Resolved,  That  the  Master  send  a  copy  of  these  reso- 
lutions to  the  family  of  our  late  brother,  and  cause  the 
same  to  be  published  in  the  Democrat  and  Free  Press, 
and  the  Rockland  Gazette.

Ten  days  out,  when  they  judged  them-

EXTRACT  FROM  A  FOREIGN  NEWSPAPER. 
Gibraltar,  April  17,  1857. 

We  are  informed  that  the  American  ship  Sea  Queen, 
of  Bath,  Me.,  Nathaniel  Groton,  master,  under  arrest 
in  our  bay  by  decree  of  the  Vice  Admiralty  Court, 
pending  a  suit  instituted  against  her  by  Capt.  Moore, 
of  the  British  bark  Defence,  for  damages  done  to  said 
vessel,  took  advantage  of  the  strong  easterly  wind 
prevailing  last  night,  to  suddenly  leave  the  port,  and 
as  we  understand  took  with  her  the  officer  placed  by 
the  Court  of  Admiralty  on  board.  This  most  unadvised 
and  unheard  of  proceeding  on  the  part  of  the  American 
master  has  been  the  subject  of  much  astonishment 
here,  and  it  will  no  doubt  give  rise  to  some  strong 
measures  on  the  part  of  the  United  States  Government, 
there  being,  we  believe,  a  treaty  between  Great  Britain 
and  the  United  States,  fully  providing  for  such  an  act 
as  that  which  this  captain  has  been  guilty  of. 

We  are  likewise  informed  that  he  left  the  ship's 
papers  in  the  hands  of  his  counsel. 

The  following  modest  account  of  this 
adventure,  corresponding  with  the  above 
statement,  and  thereby  corroborating  the 
same,  was  taken  from  the  captain's  log- 
book:

miralty on  board,  proceeded  to  sea.  At  11,  got  out  of 
the  bay  safely.  Made  all  sail.  At  midnight,  passed

Methodist  Society  in  Waldoboro'. 

Some  fifty  years  ago,  when  the  religious 
denomination  called  Methodists  first  be- 
gan to  attract  attention  in  this  town, 
Godfrey  Ludwig3,  his  son  Aaron4/  and  his 
two  brothers,  Joseph3  and  James3,  although 
they  were  born  and  educated  in  the  Lu- 
theran faith,  joined  this  new  order,  and 
soon  became  leading  men  among  them. 
Elder  Irish,  of  Union,  and  Elder  Baxter,  of 
Bristol,  who  often  ministered  to  them, 
saw  the  growing  state  of  these  young 
converts,  and  organized  a  class  of  about 
a  dozen  members,  and  appointed  Godfrey 
Ludwig3  their  leader. 

From  that  time  they  continued  to  aug- 
ment in  numbers  and  increase  in  prop- 
erty, and  in  a  few  years  constructed  a 
church  edifice,  of  moderate  pretentions, 
and  have  had  regular  preaching  in  it 
until  within  a  very  short  time. 

At  present  the  society  is  not  only  di- 
vided, but  sub-divided;  a  part  of  them 


LUDWIG   GENEALOGY.  193 

worship  at  East-North  Waldoboro',  where 
they  have  a  meeting-house,  and  a  part 
hold  their  meetings  at  the  village  proper, 
which  will  in  time,  undoubtedly,  swrallow 
up  both  the  other  societies. 

The  few,  with  their  descendants,  who 
first  organized  at  West-North  Waldoboro', 
have  not  yet  abandoned  their  old  place  of 
worship,  and  probably  will  not,  for  all 
experience  shows  that  place  of  worship 
is  second  only  to  worship  itself. 

My  object  in  introducing  this  chapter 
is  merely  to  show  that  this  branch  of  the 
Ludwig  family  were  not  only  active  in 
this  enterprise,  but  were  instrumental  in 
organizing  and  keeping  up  this  society 
until  the  present  time,  thereby  promoting 
in  an  eminent  degree  the  cause  of  virtue 
and  religion  in  a  community  where  vice 
and  immorality  once  threatened  their 
peace  and  prosperity.

The  following  is  an  abstract  from  a  me- 
morial, written  in  the  German  language, 
of  Philip  Christoph  Vogler,  an  ancestor 
of  that  branch  of  the  Fogler  family,  who 
have  intermarried  with  the  Ludwigs : 


LUDWIG   GENEALOGY.  201 

He  was  born  at  Gundelsheim,  in  the  Palatinate,  Ger- 
many, April  7,  1725.  His  parents  were  Lutherans, 
and  he  was  thus  educated.  Besides  attending  to  farm- 
ing, in  his  youth  he  learned  a  tailor's  trade.  In  1742, 
he  emigrated  with  his  father  to  America,  and  located 
in  New  England,  near  Broad  Bay.  Soon  after,  the 
Indian  war  broke  out,  which  forced  him  to  become  a 
soldier.  He  was  stationed  at  Copperston,  for  nearly 
four  years,  when  he  was  married  to  Catherine  Sides, 
and  by  whom  he  had  six  sons  and  four  daughters.  One 
son  and  one  daughter  died  before  him.  Of  the  remain- 
ing, two  sons  and  one  daughter  reside  in  Salem,  Mass., 
one  son  and  two  daughters  in  Friedland,  one  son  in  the 
neighborhood  of  Bethania,  N.  C,  and  one  son  remained 
in  New  England.  In  1*761,  he  and  his  family  became 
deeply  interested  in  a  revival  of  religion,  under  the 
ministration  and  instruction  of  the  Moravian  Brethren, 
Herr  and  Socble  of  Bethlehem,  Penn.  His  inability  to 
read  the  word  of  God  troubled  him,  and  with  his  chil- 
dren he  began  to  avail  himself  of  the  instruction  of  Mr. 
Socble,  and  soon  attained  the  desired  object. 

In  1770,  with  his  own  and  seven  other  families,  he 
removed  to  South  Carolina,  landing  at  Fayesville.  His 
wife,  from  sickness  and  fatigue,  soon  died.  With  the 
rest  of  the  company,  he  reached  Wachozia  in  Novem- 
ber, where  they  established  themselves,  with  some 
families  previously  settled,  and  soon  organized  a  coun- 
ty congregation  called  Friedland. 

In  1172,  he  was  again  married,  to  Barbara  Fiscuss, 
by  whom  he  had  two  children,  who  died  young.  In 
1780,  the  mother  died.  After  remaining  a  widower  for 
some  time,  he  again  married,  a  third  wife,  Christiana 
Mary  Schener,  born  in  Bethania,  to  which  place  he 
removed,  giving  up  his  plantation  to  his  son.  He  was

in  temper.  Conscious  of  his  imperfections,  he  was 
penitent  for  any  outbreak  of  passion,  and  studiously 
sought  to  make  redress  for  any  real  or  imaginary 
wrong  he  might  have  committed,  mentally  or  morally. 
In  August,  IT 90,  himself,  wife  and  step-daughter 
were  stricken  down  with  violent  fever.  He  expressed 
an  impression  that  his  life  would  terminate  in  the 
course  of  the  week,  and  requested  the  commemoration 
of  the  Lord's  Supper,  which  was  complied  with. 
Serene  and  happy,  afterwards,  he  passed  away, 
August  20,  1*780,  in  Bethania,  then  Stokes,  now 
Forsyth  County,  N.  C.

CONCLUSION.. 


As  far  into  the  misty  past  as  we  are 
obliged  to  search  for  the  name  of  Ludwig, 
we  must  go  still  farther  and  search  among 
the  labyrinths  of  ages  to  find  the  origin 
of  the  German  race.  If  we  were  to  rely 
upon  the  absurdity  of  Tacitus,  we  might 
infer  that  they  were  indigenous.  The  light 
of  reason  and  revelation  forbids  anything 
so  preposterous.  Climate  and  condition 
have  had  their  influence  upon  the  herds 
of  barbarians  invading  the  Hercynian  for- 
ests, and  contending  with  a  power  as 
formidable  as  the  Roman  Empire. 

Some  of  the  most  civilized  nations  of 
modern  Europe  originated  from  the  in- 
habitants in  the  black  forests  of  Ger- 
many. As  these  immense  woods  have 
disappeared,  in  the  lapse  of  ten  centuries, 
from  the  time  of  Charlemagne,  and  the 
earth  opened  to  the  rays  of  the  sun  and 


LUDWIG   GENEALOGY.  215 

the  cold,  invigorating  winds  of  the  north, 
the  inhabitants  have  gained  a  loftier  stat- 
ure, and  a  constitutional  firmness,  yet 
undeveloped  in  a  more  temperate  climate. 
Gibbon  says,  "among  the  nations  who 
have  adopted  the  Mosaic  History  of  the 
world,  the  Ark  of  Noah  has  been  of  the 
same  use,  as  was  formerly  the  seige  of 
Troy  to  the  Greeks  and  Romans. " 

Upon  a  small  nucleus  of  truth  may  be 
reared  a  large  superstructure  of  fabulous 
import  in  any  period  of  the  world,  but  in 
the  early  and  middle  ages  this  danger 
was  fearfully  augmented.  If  other  na- 
tions claim  their  origin  and  language  from 
the  comfounded  and  dispersed  people  who 
were  engaged  in  building  the  Tower  of 
Babel,  we  cannot  see  why  the  German 
race  may  not  assume  the  same  prerog- 
ative. 

Whatever  may  have  been  the  origin  of 
the  German  race,  they  have  furnished  the 
world  with  great  men  in  every  depart- 


216  LUDWIG  GENEALOGY. 

ment  of  knowledge.  Ecclesiastical  his- 
tory would  be  incomplete  without  a  Mar- 
tin Luther,  a  Melancthon,  or  a  Neander. 
In  the  natural  sciences,  a  Humbolt  and  a 
Liebig  are  our  largest  contributors.  In 
diplomacy  and  international  law,  the 
Metternichs  are  rarely  equalled.  In  po- 
etry, Schiller  and  Goethe.  In  music, 
Beethoven  and  Strauss.  In  monetary 
affairs,  the  Eothschilds  rule  the  European 
world. 

Notwithstanding  all  we  have  said  of 
Germany  and  the  German  people,  it  is  a' 
strange  country.  With  all  its  abundance 
of  literature,  and  the  prevalence  of  edu- 
cation, with,  also,  freedom  of  religious 
opinion,  it  is  far  from  being  a/ree  country. 
They  retain  many  of  the  elements  of  the 
old  feudal  system  in  all  their  social,  civil 
and  political  relations.  The  free  city,  in 
their  confederation,  is  nothing  more  than 
a  league  town,  under  another  name ;  and 
so  with  their  compact,  for  all  practical 


LUDWIG  GENEALOGY.  217 

purposes,  it  is  but  a  rope  of  sand,  as  the 
late  disturbances  in  Holstein  and  Schles- 
wig  will  testify.  The  people  are  despoti- 
cally ruled  by  great  or  petty  Princes,  and 
have  only  here  and  there  a  mock  form  of 
representative  government.  The  lower 
classes  are  entirely  destitute  of  the  means 
of  improving  their  condition.  Though  a 
country  from  which  more  of  the  elements 
of  freedom  sprung  than  any  other,  it  is 
now  unquestionably  among  the  least  free 
of  all  the  nations  of  Christendom. 

It  would  be,  comparatively,  an  easy 
task  to  fill  out  many  pages  with  the  lights 
and  shades  of  the  retrospective  years  and 
scenes  just  glanced  at  in  the  preceding 
record.  Many  of  them  now  form  a  prom- 
inent part  of  our  public  history,  and  if 
once  entered  upon,  it  would  be  a  difficult 
matter  to  find  a  satisfactory  place  for  con- 
clusion. The  author  has  only  sought  to 
rescue  a  few  facts  connected  with  his 
family  chronological  data,   from  the  ob-

livion  which  the  turmoil  of  the  present 
agitated  condition  of  our  government 
seems  to  impose,  and  to  enkindle  a  love 
and  reverence  in  the  youth  of  the  present 
generation,  for  something  more  permanent 
than  traditionary  lore. 

The  love  of*  home  and  home  influences 
are  fast  fading  away  in  the  activities  of 
the  times.  So  much  of  change  stimulates 
the  public  mind,  the  scenes  of  early  life 
become  obliterated,  and  the  tender  and 
delicate  tissues  of  household  relations  are 
less  impressive  than  in  former  years. 

As,  toil-worn  with  travel  and  adventure, 
we  return  in  after  years  to  revisit  our 
birth-place,  the  rule  of  advance  in  the 
anticipated  growth  of  the  trees,  seems  to 
have  changed  to  an  order  for  receding  in 
size  and  grandeur;  the  mountain  whose 
summit  reached  the  clouds,  and  behind 
which,  in  our  childish  imagination,  the 
golden  sun  went  down  like  a  monarch, 
and  the  magnitude  of  the  river  forming

the  boundary  line  of  the  homestead,  di- 
minish in  rapid  ratio. 

We  may  not  linger  here. 

If  this  unpretending  volume  affords  the 
reader  as  much  quiet  satisfaction  in  its 
perusal  as  it  has  its  author  in  retracing 
his  ancestry  and  recalling  the  events  con- 
nected with  the  family  history  in  years 
long  gone  by,  his  patience  and  labor  will 
not  have  been  expended  in  vain ;  if  other- 
wise, may  his  effort  lie  hidden  in  the 
folded  mantle  of  silence.
